Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday, 26 May, hit out at the government and its COVID-19 strategy.
While talking to media via a video conference, Rahul Gandhi addressed scores of issues related to the coronavirus pandemic and the Union government’s handling of it.
"India is the only country where the virus is exponentially rising and we are removing the lockdown. The aim and purpose of the lockdown has failed. India is facing the result of a failed lockdown," ANI quoted Gandhi as saying.
He asked, "What is the central government planning to do going forward as the disease is growing?"
As differences are rising between a few states and the Centre, Rahul Gandhi said, "Centre must support states, it will be difficult for Congress-ruled states to function without central support."
According to news agency PTI, Gandhi also addressed the issues pertaining to the stranded migrant workers and said, "Centre must infuse cash to people. It will be fatal if they do not do it."
"A dangerous situation will arise if financial support to people and industry is not given."
