New Delhi: Continuing with his favourite pastime of criticising the Narendra Modi government without offering solutions to COVID-19 crisis, former Congress President Rahul Gandhi has mooted that the lockdown strategy in India has failed to contain the coronavirus pandemic.

In his online press conference, Rahul Gandhi, stated, “Two months ago, the Prime Minister said that we were going to fight in 21 days a war against novel coronavirus.And now we are in 60 days and we are the only country in the world where the virus is exponentially rising and we are removing the lockdown. It is pretty clear that the aim and the purpose of the lockdown have failed.”

The Congress leader criticised the Modi-led government at the Centre for not backing the state governments. He questioned the NDA government about its strategy when the number of COVID-19 cases is rising. The result of the “failed lockdown” is in front of all, added Gandhi.
