"India will survive Coronavirus Pandemic as it did Islamic invaders and British Imperialists. We could face one more wave that targets children unless strict precautions now are taken. Modi should therefore delegate the conduct of this war to Gadkari. Relying on PMO is useless," Swamy, known for being a critic of Modi since 2018, said.

He further added that Union Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan has not been allowed free hand. "But he is too polite to assert his authority. With Gadkari he will bloom," Swamy tweeted.

Gadkari, who has been one of the most hardworking Ministers of the Modi regime since 2014, is said to be fully aware of complex issues pertaining to operations and logistics. Such expertise is said to be the key to solving the oxygen crisis in cities.
