Rahul's continuous attack on the Centre government

Gandhi has been attacking the Central government over various issues. On Friday, he targeted the Centre over the India-China standoff in a long video stating since 2014 Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'constant blunders and indiscretions' have fundamentally weakened the country. He further mocked Defence Minister Rajnaths Singh's remark that he made near Lukung, while boosting the morale of the forces and paying tributes to the lives lost in the violent Galwan valley clashes. Gandhi said the Modi government is "behaving like Chamberlain" on the issue(India-china LAC) which will further "embolden" Beijing.

When India crossed the 10 lakh coronavirus cases Gandhi said that if the government doesn't take concrete actions than the cases will cross 20 lakh mark by August end. "10,00,000-mark has been crossed. If COVID19 spreads at this pace, by August 10, more than 20,00,000 will be infected in the country," the former Congress chief said in a tweet in Hindi.
