Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Thursday initiated his series of dialogues with experts on economy and health amid the Coronavirus pandemic, with the first one being with former Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Raghuram Rajan.
Earlier, Congress had released a short video of the interaction in which Rahul Gandhi asked Raghuram Rajan, how much money will be taken to help the poor? In response to which Rajan says about Rs 65 thousand crore. Rahul asks Rajan that there are many questions in the minds of people about the virus and especially the economy, what is happening and what is going to happen?
However, the Congress is trying very hard that the party’s image during this crisis should not look negative among the people and the Congress model of relief through Congress-ruled states should also be shown to the public.
