New Delhi, April 5: Former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy on Sunday challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to offer a "credible scientific and rational" explanation for his candle-lighting call and said he is giving "meaningless tasks" to an already exhausted population.
The JD(S) leader questioned if the Prime Minister asked the nation to observe a candle-light vigil on the eve of foundation day of BJP.
"Has the PM slyly asked the nation to observe a candle light vigil on the eve of foundation day of BJP? April 6 being its foundation day, what else can explain the choice of date & time for this event? I challenge the PM to offer a credible scientific and rational explanation," Kumaraswamy tweeted.
"The government is yet to provide PPEs for doctors and make test kits affordable for the common man. Without telling the nation what concrete steps are being taken to combat COVID-19 menace, the prime minister is giving meaningless tasks to an already exhausted population," he tweeted.
"It is shameful to convert the national crisis into an event of self aggrandizement & it is beyond shameful to push the hidden agenda of his party in the face of global calamity. May sense prevail upon the PM," the JDS leader said in another tweet.
Amid a nationwide COVID-19 lockdown, Prime Minister Modi on Friday appealed to countrymen to light diyas and candles on April 5 at 9 pm to fight the darkness spread by the pandemic. He asked the people to turn off all the lights in their homes and stand at doors or balconies and light candles or diyas, torches or mobile flashlights for 9 minutes on April 5.
Last month, PM Modi had asked the people to come out in their balconies and clap and beat utensils to show appreciation for doctors, nurses and others helping fight coronavirus on 'Janata Curfew'.

Monkey came for mangalore to go kerala...publick is stuppid.
After bringing Yogi to Kerala through Mangalore , BJP had lost their prospect in both states. the man with lot of criminal cases on his head has come to teach the law and order. People will start to compare their state with yogis ruled state. People want their children not to die due to lack of oxygen, People dont want to loose their monumental identities, People want to live in love and peace. they dont want price rice. and many more. By bringing this uneducated man to educated stateS BJP itself will realize their mistake
Why these days communal gundas visiting our manglore? Is there any conspiracy to disturb the peace in dakishin kannada?? May god save our DK.
Just wasting tax payers money only one intention to spread communal unrest all over INDIA. But state like Kerala with 100% educated Malayaly nothng will happen. Even rss's heavy funding to noted goondas they cannot make a Hair Line Fracture to Kerala State. At Punjab, Bengal and Kerala rss notable to cook their dish DHAAL NAHI GHALAGHI.
Amit Shah's Drama in front of temple never accepted by any HINDU Diety.
