Sonia Gandhi's big announcement for migrant workers, Congress to bear full cost of railway tickets

New delhi date. 04 May 2020 Monday

Laborers have long been trapped by the lockdown imposed in the ongoing fight against the corona virus epidemic. Now when permission was given to go home after about a month, the central government decided to recover all the expenses of the railways from the laborers.

There was a lot of political rhetoric about this and now Congress president Sonia Gandhi has taken a big decision. The Congress party will bear the cost of railway tickets for all needy laborers.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi has decided that every unit of the Pradesh Congress Committee will bear the cost of train tickets to the homes of the workers and take necessary steps.

A statement issued on Monday said that the lockdown had been imposed on only four hours' notice, leaving the country's workers at home.

Have been deprived of going. For the first time since 1947, the country saw millions of workers walking thousands of kilometers home.

In her statement, Sonia Gandhi said that if we can bring back the Indians trapped abroad at no cost, we can spend Rs 100 crore from the exchequer in one program in Gujarat, if the Ministry of Railways can give Rs 151 crore to the Prime Minister's Relief Fund. Why can't we afford the rent?
