Govt should assist states with financial packages: Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury

Chowdhury said that the governments and doctors have done a nice job in comparison to other countries, considering India has a population of 130 crore

Congress Leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said that government should consider assisting states with financial packages as no revenue has been generated due to the coronavirus-induced lockdown.

"The nationwide lockdown has made things worse; it has become difficult for people to even survive. Since conditions have worsened, government should announce packages for the better," said Chowdhury.

"Earlier, we had given views on farmers, MSMEs, and the need for migrant labourers to return, unemployment is also increasing, and since states have no revenue or business how will they run if central government doesn't send money, we have kept this thought in front of PM,"
