  • 20 lakh crore corona package announced, congress spokesperson pays tribute

    RP Singh has sought to know from the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi and former Chief Minister Dr. Raman Singh, how long will the Bharatiya Janata Party shine in the eyes of the people of the country? On one hand, when the country is going through this bad phase of infection, on the other hand, the Kovid-19 vaccine is missing from the country. Vaccination work has decreased by 82% at the national level due to lack of vaccine in the last 30 days. Who is responsible for this?

    When the second wave of coronavirus did not come, Modi ji sent 6.30 crore vaccines to foreign countries for his branding and publicity, which was not needed. All the sensible and developed countries of the world first vaccinated their citizens and after that decided on the availability or not to give vaccines to other countries.

    But the Modi government kept going the opposite way, today the result has come to the forefront of a serious crisis. The extent then became that when the Modi government considered it appropriate to give a vaccine to an enemy country like Pakistan, but deprived the citizens of their own country. What name should I give to this Pakistan love of Modi ji and BJP?

    Spokesperson RP Singh said that the Bhupesh Baghel government of Chhattisgarh state is fighting the battle of Corona with its own resources in such a great way that the testing of Kovid is being done almost 4 times more than in states like Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The rate of infection is under control and the rate of recovery is around 85%, which is higher than the national average. Congress spokesperson has asked that where did the 20 lakh crore package that was vigorously campaigned go 20 lakh crore?

    This much money means 20-20 thousand rupees in the account of 100 crores man, should be distributed 15-15 thousand rupees in the share of 135 crores, but where did this money go? Did this money, like the PM Cares Fund, go to corruption or reach the orange Baba in Nagpur or was it surrendered to the capitalist friends.
