Hear this daughter beg for oxygen for her ailing father.
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

Modi Govt had a whole year to prepare for this pandemic, yet today patients are dying due to lack of oxygen!
What’s worse, even the prices of vaccine are inflated.

Second wave is always more dangerous than the first, we saw that in the 2019 election.We shouldn’t complain about shortage of oxygen, as we voted on basis of statues, “mandir” and “majid”.We didn’t vote for development. So why are you expecting Oxygen plant?#wecantbreathe pic.twitter.com/qNgzbXoAJQ

Ganges valley will soon be rename as “Valley of Death”. 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
