Congress leader blames govt. for rising unemployment amid lockdowns
Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, tweeting that his government’s management of the second wave of COVID-19 has made “97 per cent of Indians poorer”. The Congress leader shared the screenshot of a news report that quoted the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) chief claiming that the economic impact of lockdowns (imposed by different State governments) in the second wave has resulted in double digit unemployment in May this year and resulted in 97% people becoming poorer because of COVID. “One man and his arrogance + One virus and its mutants,” tweeted Mr. Gandhi blaming the pandemic and the Prime Minister for the economic situation in the country.
