Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's monthly radio programme, "Mann Ki Baat", and said the country cannot fight the COVID-19 pandemic with meaningless talks once a month.
Taking to Twitter, the Congress leader said that to fight against COVID-19, one needs "right intention, policy, determination." "To fight against COVID-19, you need the right intention, policy, determination. And not meaningless talks once a month," Rahul Gandhi tweeted.
"Mann ki Baat" is the Prime Minister's monthly radio address to the nation, which is broadcast on the last Sunday of every month.
The Congress has been critical of the government's response to the COVID-19 crisis. On Friday, the Congress leader had taken a swipe at the Narendra Modi-led Central government alleging that the Prime Minister, with his poor vaccine strategy, was responsible for the second wave of COVID-19 in the country.
The former Congress President had said that the COVID-19 death rate put out by the Central government was inaccurate and underreported and if the Centre did not act immediately it will be left grappling with several successive waves of the pandemic, as the virus goes on mutating.
