Rahul Gandhi jibes at Centre's lockdown strategy to stem Covid-19 spread

New Delhi/UNI: Continuing his attack on the Narendra Modi government over the handling of the Covid-19 crisis, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Saturday took a potshot at the Centre's lockdown strategy by sharing a Coronavirus graph of the fourth-phase of the restrictions in which the country saw a rise in numbers.

Posting on his Twitter account graphs of the fourth-phase lockdown showing rise in Coronavirus cases, Gandhi tweeted an anonymous quote that said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

The NDA government has imposed a five-phase lockdown since Mar 24, however, the country's Covid-19 tally kept on rising.

The country on Mar 24 had 500 cases which rose to over 3 lakh cases on Saturday, while the death toll stands at 8,800.

India's Covid-19 tally surpassed the three lakh-mark, with the report of 11,458 fresh cases on Saturday.

The government is now easing the lockdown restrictions with Unlock 1.0 in which domestic flight operations have resumed, inter-state travel has started again while the government has also allowed the opening of restaurants, malls, shops and places of worship.
