Amid the coronavirus pandemic Congress leader Rahul Gandhi addressed the media via a video on Saturday at 12 pm.
Similarly, on May 8th, Gandhi had addressed the media and said that "what government needs to do now is, give a little bit of transparency on its actions. We need to understand when they open the coronavirus lockdown what will be the criteria for its opening."
Speaking about PM Modi's announcement of economic package worth Rs 20 lakh crore, Rahul Gandhi said, "The entire country is going through tough times. Many people are on the streets. Today, I'm speaking as a citizen and not as a politician. The package should be for the migrant workers. I urge the PM to reconsider the package and look at direct transfer to the migrant workers and farmers."
He adds, "Please don't care about the country's ratings. Now we need to look at people; our migrant workers and farmers. Once the government makes direct transfer, these people will start working immediately."
The government should have faith in these people. If these people don't get money immediately, the businesses will not start and the economy will in turn be at a standstill, he said.
Speaking about the numerous accidents killing several migrant labourers, he said, "I offer my condolences to all the families of people who have died in the accidents."
