On Friday, Gandhi once again questioned the Government on the coronavirus crisis and demanded that it should tell people what it has planned to do to tackle the spread of the virus.
He also shared on his Twitter handle charts on number of corona cases in different countries and their lockdowns which purportedly showed how the nationwide lockdown in India since March 25 had not helped control the spread of coronovirus compared with other nations. The Congress leader shared the graph showing corona cases in Italy, Spain, Germany, and the UK.
Rahul tweeted: “This is what a failed lockdown looks like.”
