Is India doing a good job in fighting coronavirus?

Politics in the time of coronavirus -- from rallies to press conferences to now an all-out Twitter war has broken out between the Congress and the BJP.

Taking a dig at the Modi government, Rahul Gandhi had earlier listed the alleged attempt to topple his party's government in Rajasthan and the "Namaste Trump" event as among the Centre's "achievements" in the COVID-19 era.

"Achievements of the government in the COVID-era: February -- Namaste Trump, March-- toppling the government in Madhya Pradesh, April -- making people light candles, May -- government's sixth anniversary, June -- Bihar virtual rally, July -- Attempt to topple the government in Rajasthan," Gandhi said in a tweet.
