TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday demanded that the government provide credible data on Covid deaths in the country and pay a compensation of Rs four lakh each to families of those who lost their lives due to coronavirus.
Gandhi shared a video in which families, who lost their dear ones due to Covid in Gujarat, alleged that they did not receive timely help from the government. He also attacked the “Gujarat model” which the BJP has projected as the best in the country.
“The Congress party has two demands that credible data on Covid deaths be disclosed and compensation of Rs four lakh be given to the families of those who lost their kin due to COVID-19.The government will have to ease the pain of people and they should get compensation,” he said in a tweet in Hindi, using the hashtag “#4LakhDenaHoga”.
In the 4.31 minute video as part of “Congress Nyay campaign”, Gandhi said the Gujarat model is much talked about but the families whom they talked to said that during Covid times they neither got a hospital bed nor a ventilator.
