Opposition Lashes Out At PM Modi Over Video Message
X
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has shared a video message in which he asked the countrymen to switch off lights for nine minutes and hold candles on the night of the 5th of April over the COVID-19 fight.

This news did not go well with the opposition leaders as they have lashed out at the Prime Minister over his safety measures on fighting the pandemic COVID-19.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor took to Twitter and took a dig at Prime Minister over his video message for the countrymen.

"Listened to the Pradhan Showman. Nothing about how to ease people's pain, their burdens, their financial anxieties. No vision of the future or sharing the issues he is weighing in deciding about the post-lockdown. Just a feel-good moment curated by India's Photo-Op PrimeMinister!," the MP's Tweet read.

Another Congress leader P Chidambaram also came down severely on Modi and Tweeted, Dear @narendramodi, We will listen to you and light diyas on April 5. But, in return, please listen to us and to the wise counsel of epidemiologists and economists.

Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra also found fault with Modi's measures to fight the deadly virus and said via Twitter, Turn out lights & come on balconies?

"GET REAL MR. MODI!.Give India fiscal pkg worth 8-10pc of GDP. Ensure immediate wages to construction & other labour during lockdown- laws exist permitting this. Stop gagging real press in name of curbing fake news"
