NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Monday exuded confidence that India will create history by winning the battle against the novel coronavirus after following the instructions given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, and state Health Minister Rajesh Tope. Noting that this was the 13th day since the declaration of the nationwide lockdown, he stressed the need to follow the instructions precisely during the remaining 8 days.
Highlighting that it was more frightening to see the situation in other countries, he contended that it was necessary to take care of the economic situation during the next year. Moreover, Pawar called upon the Centre to release a relief package for Maharashtra to tide over the economic crisis. He also advised the Narendra Modi-led government to take the help of experts such as former Finance Secretary Vikay Kelkar to bring about a positive change in the economic situation.
सध्या आपणा सर्वांना एक निश्चय करायचा आहे. देशाचे मा. पंतप्रधान @narendramodi, राज्याचे मा. मुख्यमंत्री @OfficeofUT, आरोग्य मंत्री @rajeshtope11 यांनी दिलेल्या सूचनांचे पालन करून कोरोनावर मात करायची आहे. कोरोनाविरोधात जिंकण्याचा इतिहास आपण रचू, असा विश्वास मला आहे.

पुढील वर्षभरात आर्थिक परिस्थितीची काळजी घ्यायला हवी. विजय केळकरांसारख्या जबाबदार व्यक्तींना सोबत घेऊन आपण स्थितीत बदल करू शकतो. केंद्राकडूनही काही गोष्टींची राज्याला निश्चित अपेक्षा आहे. केंद्राने राज्याला आर्थिक संकटातून बाहेर पडण्यासाठी मदत म्हणून पॅकेज जाहीर करण्याची गरज आहे.

देशात लॉकडाऊन जाहीर झाले त्याचा आजचा हा तेरावा दिवस आहे. अजून आठ दिवस बाकी आहेत. या उर्वरित दिवसांत ज्या सूचना केल्या आहेत त्यांचे तंतोतंत पालन करणे गरजेचे आहे. इतर देशांचे चित्र पाहिल्यास ते अधिक भयावह आहे. @PMOIndia @CMOMaharashtra #LetsFightCoronaTogether #Coronavirus pic.twitter.com/WeTljSE0cF
