Kasaragod, May 11: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's comparison of poll-bound Kerala with Somalia has angered Malayalees who took to social media for immediate retaliation.modi

Mr Modi on Sunday said at an election rally that the "infant mortality rate among the scheduled tribe community in Kerala is worse than Somalia".

Irate netizens are pouring their anger on the Twitter and Facebook and the #PoMoneModi, that can be roughly translated to 'get lost Modi,' is trending on social media. The state will vote on 16 May.

Mr Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been trying to get a foothold in the state which has been traditionally ruled by either the Congress or a coalition of left parties.

But his recent statement to win Kerala's voters seems to have backfired.

Somalia has one of the highest rates of child malnutrition and infant mortality in the world, while Kerala state has lowest infant mortality rates in India. Scheduled tribes are among India's most underprivileged citizens.

Chief Minister Oommen Chandy wrote an elaborate Facebook post addressing Modi and said that the Prime Minister insulted Kerala. Modi was referring to false media reports. He should have verified the truth before jumping to conclusions, Chandy wrote. "I can say for sure that no child in Kerala is in a state to seek food from the waste dump," he added.

"You made statements that had nothing to do with reality and likened Kerala to Somalia.
This is unbecoming of a prime minister and has created a great deal of agony," Mr Chandy wrote.

And on Wednesday, #PoMoneModi became one of the top trending topics on Twitter with people using memes, cartoons and jokes to express their anger.

Bengaluru Jul 29: There will be a centralised system in place in Karnataka to classify asymptomatic, symptomatic and mild symptomatic persons and recommend treatment based on the severity of the cases, said Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Tuesday here.

"Various existing apps related to COVID-19 will be brought under one platform to get real-time information which will assist in strategising allocation of hospitals/beds to the needy. This will probably remove the delay in bed allocation and treatment which is being faced now. The patients will get all information in one phone call," Dr Sudhakar said.

Sudhakar spoke with a team of experts from the government and Infosys.

Referring to a company by name Step 1, which is providing such services in Delhi and Madhya Pradesh, the Minister said that a similar system will be implemented in the state as well.

"This company is having a team of doctors and nurses which is guiding the people whether they need hospital treatment or home isolation after they are tested positive for COVID-19. More than 70 per cent of the positive cases are being asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic and are advised to go for home isolation," the minister said.

"The load on the hospitals is reduced and severe cases can be administered proper treatment. Infosys co-ordinates with the government to provide technical support for this system," Dr Sudhakar added.

Earlier during the day, the minister held a video conference with the heads of private medical colleges to review COVID preparedness.
The government has already passed guidelines to allocate 50 per cent of hospital beds for COVID patients.
