Ms. Gandhi, said, “After May 17, what? And after, May 17 How? What criteria is the government using to judge how long the lockdown is to continue.”
The INC conducted a meeting with the INC ruled states’ chief ministers to discuss the ongoing lockdown, perspective of the Central Government and economic crises.
The meeting was attended by Rahul Gandhi, INC led state CMs, Manmohan Singh and other senior leaders of the Party.
Dr. Manmohan Singh said, “We need to know what will happen after lockdown 3.0.”
During the meeting, Ms. Gandhi asked the state governments to explain the measures taken by them and also discussed the issues of migrant labourers.
