Congress Says Strict measures flattened economy not virus

New Delhi: Ahead of Rahul Gandhi”s conversation with industrialist Rajiv Bajaj, the Congress has alleged that “the draconian measures have flattened the Indian economy instead of the virus”.

Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said, a consensus is emerging that the “harsh lockdown has been a failure”.

 

Rahul Gandhi indeed required an empathetic reaction and the dire requirement for the administration to tune in to partners and specialists. 

Rahul Gandhi"s discussion with industrialist Rajiv Bajaj on the monetary aftermath of the lockdown will be discharged on Thursday at 10 a.m. 

Rahul Gandhi in his association with Bajaj stated, in India in the event that you need to accomplish something, be merciful and tune in. What's more, the nation will consequently mention to you what it needs. So there are individuals at the present time, shouting in torment and the most clear are, the unskilled workers, day by day bets, he said. 

Rajiv Bajaj, in a discourse with Rahul Gandhi stated, "We attempted



to execute a cruel lockdown which was as yet permeable. So I think we have wound up with the most exceedingly awful of the two universes. On one hand a permeable lockdown ensures that the infection will in any case exist and as you stated, it is as yet holding back to hit you when you will open."

“Also you have not solved that problem. But you have definitely decimated the economy. You flattened the wrong curve. It is not the infection curve, it is the GDP curve. This is what we have ended (up) with, the worst of both worlds,” added Bajaj.

The Congress said, “stimulus package does little to rebuild business confidence and has left many with little leeway to bounce back”. The constant back and forth regarding regulations for reopening have left businesses paralyzed, the party said.

This is the fourth interaction of Rahul Gandhi with top economists and industrialists. He has been extremely active across social media for many years now, becoming one of the 10 most followed politicians in the world on Twitter (14.5 million followers), said the statement from the Congress.
