Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said Rahul Gandhi also criticized the Corona warriors.
New Delhi:
Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad tore Rahul Gandhi apart today, accusing the congressional leader of spreading misinformation and playing politics of opportunism. He also wondered if Mr. Gandhi’s allegations are just a ruse to escape responsibility for the situation in Maharashtra – the state has the maximum number of coronavirus cases in the country.
Rahul Gandhi, the minister said, has laid charges against the Prime Minister. He criticized him when the Prime Minister asked people to beat balconies for health workers and when he asked that lights be lit for them.
“With that, Rahul Gandhi only cheers up those who want to divide the nation,” said Prasad.
The head of Congress, he said, also criticized the Indian Council for Medical Research, the nodal agency against Coronavirius. He tweeted about gasoline and diesel when their prices went up in states ruled by Congress. He did not even spare the “corona warriors”, said the minister.
The BJP’s reply came a day after Mr. Gandhi, at a virtual press conference, said contrary to government expectations, even four phases of foreclosure were not enough to contain the coronavirus.
“India is the only country where coronavirus cases have increased exponentially despite a blockage,” said Gandhi. We want to ask the government, what is its strategy regarding the opening of India and what precautions they will take, how do they think and how will they support migrants and our states? “, he added.
He also expressed concern that if the lock is lifted without any concrete plan, the country will face a second wave of coronavirus which will be “extremely devastating”.
Asked about the situation in Maharsahtra, where Congress is part of the ruling alliance and the government, Mr. Gandhi said that there is a difference between leading the government and supporting a government.
“We support the government of Maharashtra, but we are not in the key decision-making role in Maharashtra,” he said, adding that Maharashtra needs the full support of the central government because the state is waging a very difficult battle. difficult.
