There very well could be a selective outrage, but I'm almost as far removed from this as possible. HN as a groupmind usually scolds the official government, because the assumption is that they have the most effective control over behavior of people.

I simply said that Modi/BJP is responsible wherever they are.
Of course the other parties are responsible too.
And we can simply apply the Spiderman rule: more power, more responsibility. Modi is the PM, BJP is the ruling party. (And yes, of course in some states BJP's influence is lesser than some other party's. And there the responsibility of that particular party is greater.)
On top of all this it also depends what was the rhetoric of the other parties. Were they also loudly claiming victory over the pandemic? Naturally Modi trapped himself into a bit of a corner with that. (Even if facists can usually disregard/bend reality, but we shall see how the electorate takes this dissonance.)
