Lockdown: Sonia Gandhi to release video message three hours before PM Modi’s address
Congress President Sonia Gandhi will also release her video message 3 hours before PM Modi’s address. It is believed that the Congress president can demand some concession in the event of increased lockdown through this video message.
Corona virus disease has taken the form of epidemic in the country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi implemented a lockdown across the country from March 25 to put a brake on the rising speed of the corona virus. Today is the last day of the lockdown. Many states have extended the lockdown period till April 30, although the central government has not opened its cards yet.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going to address the country at 10 o’clock in the day. It is believed that Prime Minister Modi can announce to increase the lockdown applicable in the country. Meanwhile, 3 hours before PM Modi’s address, Congress President Sonia Gandhi will also release her video message. A few hours before the Prime Minister’s address, discussions have started in the political corridors about Sonia’s video message.
It is believed that the Congress president can demand some concession in the event of increased lockdown through this video message. This is also because Sonia had written a letter to the Prime Minister a day earlier, citing the National Food Security Act, and demanded providing free food grains to the poor by September. In the letter, he had demanded an additional 10 kg of grain per person to the families availing the benefits of the National Food Security Act.
Sonia also praised the government’s move to give five kilograms of free ration to each person till June. Let us know that earlier Sonia had targeted the government. Sonia Gandhi accused the government of implementing lockdown in the country without any preparation. However, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party had rejected the allegation of the Congress president.
