"The Prime Minister and his entire advisory staff including top medical people said that the disease would start to reduce towards the end of May and now it is clear that the disease is not reducing, it is increasing," he said.

He also suggested that the Centre consider the list of recommendations prepared by his party for the government's economic stimulus package.
