New Delhi: ‘The only way to stop the spread of Corona now is a full lockdown’, tweeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday. He also launched a scathing attack on the Narendra Modi-led Centre saying that the government is not realising the fact that its “inaction” is killing several innocent people. “GOI doesn’t get it. The only way to stop the spread of Corona now is a full lockdown- with the protection of NYAY for the vulnerable sections”, the former Congress president wrote on the micro-blogging site.

Notably, the Wayanad parliamentarian has been criticising the Centre for its alleged mismanagement regarding the Covid-19 situation in India. He had accused the central government of being ‘policy paralysed’ and said that it cannot secure victory over coronavirus. In a tweet, the Congress leader had said, “A policy paralysed GOI cannot secure victory over the virus. Face it. Don’t fake it.”
