New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is missing the Parliament monsoon session that began today, has attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he said people of the country have to “save their own lives because PM is busy with peacock”.
“India’s coronavirus cases will cross 50 lakh this week and active cases will cross 10 lakh. Unplanned lockdown was the gift of one man’s ego, which led to the spread of coronavirus across the country. Modi government said “be self-reliant (atmanirbhar)”… which meant “save your own lives” because the Prime Minister is busy with peacock,” he tweeted.
He attacked the Prime Minister over spike in Covid cases and accused the government of implementing the lockdown without a plan. He also referred to a video PM Modi shared last month on his official Instagram handle. The video, shared with a poem in Hindi, shows PM Modi spending time with peacocks at his Lok Kalyan Marg residence.
Rahul is currently said to be in a foreign country with his mother Sonia Gandhi, who has gone there for medical treatment.
