New Delhi: AICC President Sonia Gandhi wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi pledging full support to the government in the fight against the deadly virus. In her letter Sonia said that “As president of the Congress, I would like to state that we will support and collaborate fully with every step taking by the union government to ensure the containment of the pandemic.”

The Congress MP Rahul Gandhi in a tweet on Thursday said that Government’s bailout package to soften the impact of Covid- 19 got rare thumbs up from Rahul Gandhi, who called it the “first step in the right direction”.

India owes a debt to its farmers, daily wage earners, labourers, women and the elderly who are bearing the brunt of the ongoing lockdown,” the Congress MP tweeted, in a marked change from his previous posts targeting the government. Rahul Gandhi welcomed the Finance Minister’s bailout package to the poor, migrant labours, farmers etc. due to the lock down of Covid- 19 in his tweet.
