Anchoring the 4 minute 30 second video, Rahul Gandhi also targeted the much-talked about "Gujarat model", with families narrating their ordeal.
The Centre should provide the correct number of Covid deaths and Rs 4 lakh compensation should be given to families who have lost a member to the virus, underscored Rahul Gandhi spotlighting the plight of Covid-hit famillies. कांग्रेस पार्टी की दो माँग हैं-1. कोविड मृतकों के सही आँकड़े बताए जायें।2. अपने प्रियजनों को कोविड में खो चुके परिवारों को चार लाख हरजाना दिया जाए।सरकार हो तो जनता का दुख दूर करना होगा,हरजाना मिलना चाहिए, #4LakhDenaHogapic.twitter.com/aEPO7XVxyJ
On Monday, the Supreme Court had asked the Centre to find out from the states on the progress made on disbursal of compensation of Rs 50,000 to the families of COVID-19 victims and pulled up the Gujarat government for issuing a notification, constituting a scrutiny committee contrary to its directions.
"The Congress party has two demands - 1. Correct figures of Covid dead should be given. 2. Four lakh compensation should be given to the families who have lost their loved ones to Covid. If you are a government, you will have to remove the suffering of the people. Compensation should be provided," the former Congress president tweeted this afternoon in Hindi, along with a video detailing the issue.
The 51-year-old leader said "4 lakh dena hoga (4 lakh will have to be given)".
