NEW DELHI, May 26 - Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said the four phases of the nationwide lockdown have �failed� and not given the results that Prime Minister Narendra Modi expected as he urged the Centre to spell out its strategy for �opening up� the country.
Addressing an online press conference, he expressed concern that India is the only country which is relaxing the lockdown when the virus is �exponentially rising�.
He said that if the government functions haphazardly during the non-lockdown period, the country will face a second wave of coronavirus which will be �extremely devastating�.
Gandhi further said if money is not given in the hands of the poor and small and medium industry, there could be �serious economic damage� in the country as he sought to know the government�s plan to support migrants and various states in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. � PTI
