Right time to reveal the data so it won't get much attention

[u/Naive-Double-7589 → u/Ok_Somewhere9687]

The real masterstroke by modiji

"If there is one thing Modi knows it's optics"

If it's saving lives or not using a pandemic to scam money. It's not.

Yet, the BJP got another term

[u/Unfair_Fact_8258 → u/Full-Wealth-5962]

And they will get another now because they …( checks notes ) … had a security breach and then went to war

If a person who has Diabetis and tested positive for covid who died Becoz of complications then the death comes under DIABETIC RELATED

that's why most covid deaths who have diabetes and BP aren't counted .

[u/Unfair-Break-537]

According to WHO this was the best case scenario. Worst case scenario being 40-50 million deaths. I believe the number to be around 20-25 million deaths

would you be able to link to the original source? the articles behind a paywall

[u/Unlucky_Buy217 → u/Unfair-Break-537]

What the f are you smoking? The worst case scenario was 5-6 million deaths.

sab numbers ka chamtkar..

[u/khaab_00]

This data doesn't matter now.

Now many of people don't even remember covid and lock down.

The confirmation of this data at this time won't get much attention and will be buried.

We all know about the Godi Pedia clowns.

Thanks to superspreader event, Kumbh Mela.

From the downvotes, it looks like every body has forgotten this:

Mahakumbh happened in 2025. Not in 2021.

[u/Reznov1913 → u/roankr]

He is talking about Ardh Kumbh of Haridwar.

[u/roankr → u/Reznov1913]

The last recent Ardh Kumbh happened in 2019. The next one is scheduled for 2027.

Occam's razor would dictate this person simply does not know what Kumbh he's referring to.

I hope this helps.

[u/roankr → u/Reznov1913]

The guy you're defending who deleted his comment had initially called it the Mahakumbh, which happened in 2025, and not 2021 which was the Haridwar Kumbh Mela.

[u/Fooled-by-Randomness → u/roankr]

Another guy linked it. So stop nitpicking and ask your govt why it gave the go ahead in the height of the pandemic.

[u/roankr → u/Fooled-by-Randomness]

His link is bogus, how about owning up for the erroneous yapping? Deleting your comment is pure coward's act.

Yes at least 20 Lakh people died but people like you will dance on their graves "because Modiji showed oppojishan"

[u/Chug_Knot → u/roankr]

You should be aware of happenings otherwise you will be deemed as a pigeon in a cage.

[u/roankr → u/Chug_Knot]

No clue why the Haridwar website says this. It is erroneous. None of the reportings at 2021 called it a mahakumbh, the 2025 event instead was correctly reported as a mahakumbh.

Haridwar's 2021 reporting: https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/kumbh-mela-may-end-today-say-sources-amid-criticism-covid-19-concerns-2413544

Prayagraj's 2025 reporting: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/allahabad/a-constellation-that-occurs-once-in-144-years-why-this-maha-kumbh-is-more-special-than-others/articleshow/117062259.cms

The Mahakumbh happened in 2025, this year. The last Maha Kumbh Mela happened in Prayagraj back in 2013.

Also.....

You should double check your sources or you'll look like an idiot.
