New delhi date. 08 May 2020, Friday

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi spoke to the media via video conference on Friday morning. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi has spoken about the growing transmission of the corona virus and the difficulties it is facing due to the lockdown. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said the government should introduce a policy of opening lockdowns to the public and deposit money directly into workers' accounts. Rahul Gandhi said that the transmission of corona in India could increase even after June-July.

"In the Congress, we have decided to give some suggestions to the government," Rahul Gandhi told a press conference. Rahul said now is the time to announce a relief package for small businesses and prepare for the lockdown.

Rahul Gandhi said that now the government should tell what is happening, the public has to tell when the lockdown will open. People need to be told in what circumstances the lockdown will be opened. A lot has changed during the lockdown, now the epidemic has become much more dangerous.

Rahul Gandhi said that the state government and the district administration should be part of the central government and work together on strategy. Rahul said that now the lockdown needs to be opened, if any business person is asked, he will face trouble with the supply chain. Migrant workers, the poor, small business owners need money today or else there will be a tsunami of jobs.

Regarding the help of migrant laborers, Rahul Gandhi said that start giving money to the people with the help of justice scheme, it will cost Rs 65,000 crore. The central government will have to talk to the state about sending workers to their state.

Congress leader Rahul said the government was thinking that if it started spending money quickly, the rupee situation would worsen. But the government will have to take a risk at this point, as the money needs to reach the ground level. As much as the government is thinking. So much of our time is being wasted.

Rahul Gandhi said that the Chief Ministers told us the situation of their state, they are not getting money from the Center. Currently the situation in the country is not normal, this fight needs to be taken to the district. If this fight is fought in the PMO then the fight will be lost. The disease is dangerous for only one per cent of the people and the remaining 99 per cent have fear in their minds.

He said that today no one belongs to RSS, Congress or BJP, everyone has to stand up and fight like a Hindustani. The lockdown will not end if everyone does not have to end the fear today.

Rahul Gandhi has already spoken to the media via video conference and also with an expert on the issue of corona-lockdown. Rahul Gandhi discussed the economy with former Reserve Bank Governor Raghuram Rajan and Nobel laureate Abhijeet Banerjee.
