He said that testing for Covid-19 is being done in cities, and not villages where migration has happened since the announcement of 21-day lockdown.

Former Madhya Pradesh chief minister and senior Congress leader Kamal Nath on Sunday alleged that Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government delayed imposition of lockdown over Covid-19 to ensure their government is formed in the state. Nath was addressing a press conference through video-conferencing. “I resigned on March 20, but lockdown was announced after Shivraj Singh Chouhan took oath as chief minister on March 23,” said Nath. “Rahul Gandhi had said in February itself that the coronavirus pandemic will turn into a big problem but nothing was done then.”
“Various state Assemblies were adjourned over Covid-19 fears, but Parliament kept running to ensure our government is gone. It was obvious,” Nath said.
