Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Tuesday lambasted Centre Government for ‘lack of strategy to tackle the deadly second Covid19 wave in India and said that ‘Lockdown is now the only option” left now.
“I just want to make it clear that a lockdown is now the only option because of a complete lack of strategy by GOI.
They allowed, rather, they actively helped the virus reach this stage where there’s no other way to stop it.
A crime has been committed against India,” Rahul Gandhi tweeted.

The Wayanad parliamentarian’s party had proposed NYAY or Nyuntam Aay Yojana (Minimum Income Scheme) in its 2019 general election manifesto, promising families in the bottom 20 percent of the economic strata a minimum of Rs72,000 a year as guaranteed income.
“The only way to stop the spread of Corona now is a full lockdown- with the protection of NYAY for the vulnerable sections.
“GOI doesn’t get it. The only way to stop the spread of Corona now is a full lockdown- with the protection of NYAY for the vulnerable sections. GOI’s inaction is killing many innocent people,” Mr Gandhi added.
