‘Bees lakh ka aankra paar, Gayab hai Modi sarkaar’, says Rahul Gandhi as India crosses 2-million COVID infections
Srinagar: On Friday morning, as India reported more than 2-million COVID cases (20, 25,409), former Indian National Congress chief Rahul Gandhi shared an old tweet from his timeline, hinting that he was right in predicting that India would cross the 2-million mark before August 10, 2020.
20 लाख का आँकड़ा पार,
ग़ायब है मोदी सरकार। https://t.co/xR9blQledY— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) August 7, 2020
“Bees lakh ka aankra paar… Gayab hai Modi sarkaar (20-lakh mark has been crossed, Modi government is missing),” a Delhi based news organisation NDTV mentioned the tweet shared by Rahul Gandhi.
10,00,000 का आँकड़ा पार हो गया।
इसी तेज़ी से #COVID19 फैला तो 10 अगस्त तक देश में 20,00,000 से ज़्यादा संक्रमित होंगे।
सरकार को महामारी रोकने के लिए ठोस, नियोजित कदम उठाने चाहिए। https://t.co/fMxijUM28r

“The 10,00,000-mark has been crossed. If COVID-19 continues to spread at this pace, we will soon cross the 20,00,000-lakh mark by August 10. The government should take prudent steps to tackle the pandemic,” his post in Hindi on July 17 read.
