Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday tweeted that “our country needs a helping hand in these distressing times”. His message to all was: “Let’s all do our bit to save lives.”
He gave a call to join the Congress party’s campaign #SpeakUpToSaveLives and strengthen the fight against corona. In another tweet, he urged the Prime Minister to remove his pink tinted glasses in which he sees nothing except Central Vista.
He said Modi will alone then be able to see any number of bodies of the Covid-19 victims floating in the rivers in Bihar, Uttarr Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, miles of lines at hospitals and denial of right to secure life.
