Wayanad bypoll: Low voter turnout dampens Congress spirits
Political observers say that the massive turnout of crowd during the campaigns of Priyanka in the constituency is not reflected in the polling.
In order to avoid people from rushing to hospitals, Congress has launched a teleconsulation to give medical advice on the pandemic and people can get prescriptions.
The helpline named ‘Hello Doctor’ has been launched by the party to get advice from doctors and mental health professionals during the pandemic.
“India needs to stand together and help our people. We have launched ‘Hello Doctor’, a medical advisory helpline. Please call +919983836838 for medical advice. Dear Dr’s & mental health professionals, we need your help. Please enroll on,” Rahul Gandi tweeted.
