Centre should give money to migrants fleeing again, says Rahul Gandhi as thousands leave Delhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has said the migrants once again fleeing Delhi, Mumbai and other major cities over the lockdown restrictions must be given financial help by the Centre.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took a jibe at the Centre over the emerging trend of migrant labourers once again fleeing Delhi, Mumbai and other major cities in a grim reminder of last year's migrant crisis. ?#Lockdown In a tweet on Tuesday, Rahul Gandhi wrote, "Migrants are fleeing once again. In such a situation, it is the responsibility of the central government to deposit money in their bank accounts to help them. But will a government that blames the public for spreading corona take such a helpful step?" The remark comes at a time when thousands of migrant labourers were seen flocking the Anand Vihar bus terminus in Delhi to return to their native states after CM Arvind Kejriwal announced a week-long lockdown to check the Covid-19 spread.
