Congress leader Rahul Gandhi addresses the press conference on Covid-19 via video link in New Delhi. In an editorial in party mouthpiece Saamana, the Sena said Rahul “recognised the coronavirus threat well in advance and continuously warned the government to take necessary steps”. Even when the Madhya Pradesh government was being pulled down, Rahul was trying to “wake the government up” to tackle the coronavirus. “He also said that the lockdown was not a remedy, but just a ‘pause button’ in the coronavirus fight. His statement that lockdown doesn’t kill the virus, but allows the government to create medical facilities is completely true,” the Sena said.
