Today, as India suffers from an acute crisis of oxygen & vaccines, @narendramodi should hang his head in shame! Sir, please let someone deserving guide India out of this disaster. #WeCantBreathe pic.twitter.com/pKzhDhqr6Q — MANOJ TIWARY (@tiwarymanoj) April 22, 2021 Think before it’s too late ?? we don't have planet 'B' safe #RestoreOurEarth#EarthDay #WeCantBreathe pic.twitter.com/n7Qn8WnXYM — Geetanjali Nigam (@GeetSahayNigam) April 22, 2021 Modi Govt had a whole year to prepare for this pandemic, yet today patients are dying due to lack of oxygen!

As our PM @narendramodi was more busy in campaign for @BJP4Bengal, than taking care of our country. As a result people are dying due to shortage of oxygen.#WeCantBreathe pic.twitter.com/pg5gl7Lu7e— Sayan Khan (@SayanKhanAITC) April 22, 2021
