Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation today morning and said that the existing lockdown will be extended till the 3rd of May with the positive cases in the nation and increasing at a rapid phase. The positive cases in India have surpassed the 10,000 mark.
With everything across the nation being shutdown the daily wage workers and the poor people will get affected the most as they will not get any work until the lockdown is not lifted.
Modi did not announce any schemes or plans to help them but urged the countrymen to help the poor people with food so that they will not starve for the food.
This news did not go well with the Congress leader and former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram who took to Twitter to lash out at the BJP government for not trying to help the poor people. In a series of Tweets, he came down severely on the BJP party headed by Modi.
"The poor have been left to fend for themselves for 21+19 days, including practically soliciting food. There is money, there is food, but the government will not release either money or food. Cry, my beloved country," his tweet read.
"Amazing PM address. Exhortation, rhetoric, inspiration.....yet hollow on specifics! No financial package, no details, no concrete item. Neither for poor nor middle class nor industry nor businesses. Lockdown is good but cannot be end in itself! Where is single livelihood issue," the former Finance Minister said in a series of tweets.
