India’s ruling party declared victory over Covid - does it now regret this?

Channel 4 News spoke to Jay Panda, the national vice president of the ruling party, BJP.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (Indian People's Party; abbr. BJP) is one of 2 major political parties in India, along with the Indian National Congress. It is the current ruling political party of the Republic of India, having been so since 2014. The BJP is a right-wing party, and its policy has historically reflected Hindu nationalist positions. It has close ideological and organizational links to the much older Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). As of 2019, it is the country's largest political party in terms of representation in the national parliament and state assemblies and is by far the world's largest party in terms of primary membership.
