If the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has a new exit plan, “he should tell the govt”. Ravi Shankar Prasad, union Law minister responded to Gandhi's question that the lockdown has no solution and added that why did Congress ruled state governments imposed it in the first place. On the contrary, Punjab and Rajasthan imposed lockdowns at the earliest. Maharashtra extended it till May 31. Do your CMs not listen to you?” asked Ravi Shankar Prasad on Wednesday in New Delhi.
The minister said that coronavirus has become a big problem in 15 nations of the world whose total population is 142 crore and has seen 3.43 lakh deaths till May 26. Contrasting the situation with India, the minister said it was the result of lockdown that India reported only 4,345 deaths.
“India has a population of 137 crores and 4,345 people have died in our country. More than 64 thousand recoveries have been made. Prime Minister has united the country through lockdown, it is the result of that,” said Prasad. The minster accused Rahul Gandhi of “spreading negativity” and weakening the country’s resolve against coronavirus. “I can tell you five ways by which Rahul Gandhi has tried to weaken the resolve of the country: Spreading negativity, working against the nation in times of crisis, taking false credit, saying something and doing something else, spreading false facts and false news,” said Prasad.
