A lack of leadership prevails View(s):My dear Gota maamey,I thought of writing to you because many people are worried about what is happening in Paradise – and as the captain of the ship of state, most people are blaming you. Of course, the coronavirus is not your fault, but the way it is being managed is what is causing concern. Even Sudarshini, the minister you appointed for Covid-19 control called for a lockdown – and she is a doctor as well. Then, 10 political parties in your coalition wrote to you asking for a lockdown, but you were still unmoved and didn’t change your decision. I think it would be helpful if you reflected on why you won that war and how you did so.
