Congress leader Rahul Gandhi slammed the Narendra Modi-led Central government on Saturday (May 22) over the worryingly rising cases of black fungus or mucormycosis across the country. 

Hitting at Prime Minister Modi for cases of mucormycosis in COVID-19 patients, Gandhi said not only vaccines but there is also a “huge shortage” of medicines for the treatment of black fungus infection. 

In a tweet in Hindi, Gandhi said, "It is only in India that there is an epidemic of black fungus along with the COVID pandemic due to the inefficiency of Modi system. There is a shortage of vaccines as well as of medicines. And to deal with this, the Prime Minister will be telling people to clap and clang utensils.”
