New Delhi, July 21: Congress lawmaker Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday took a dig at the Modi government over its "achievements" when the country is battling against the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In his latest tweet, Rahul Gandhi listed "achievements" of the Modi government such as "toppling of Congress government in Madhya Pradesh" during the COVID-19 outbreak, saying, hence, India is "atmanirbhar" (self-reliant) in its fight against COVID-19. PM Narendra Modi is Worried About His Fake Strongman Image And Not Chinese, Says Rahul Gandhi in Video Message.
"Government's achievements during corona crisis: February - Namaste Trump, March-Brought down government in Madhya Pradesh, April-Made people light candles, May-6th anniversary of the government, June-Virtual rally in Bihar, July-Attempt to topple the government in Rajasthan," Rahul tweeted in Hindi. "That's why India is "atmanirbhar" (self-reliant) in its fight against COVID-19," the Congress leader added.

कोरोना काल में सरकार की उपलब्धियां:
● फरवरी- नमस्ते ट्रंप
● मार्च- MP में सरकार गिराई
● अप्रैल- मोमबत्ती जलवाई

Rahul has been critical of the government over its handling of the COVID-19 crisis. Last week, he shared a graph that showed India's COVID-19 curve isn't flattening, and sought to know how India's is at a "good position". Sharing the COVID-19 curve of different countries, including India, he tweeted: "India at good position in #COVID19 battle?" The graph showed that only New Zealand has managed to contain the coronavirus outbreak, whereas India and the United States couldn't flatten the COVID-19 curve.
Earlier, Rahul had said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi surrendered in the fight against COVID-19. "Covid-19 is spreading rapidly into new parts of the country. Government of India has no plan to defeat it. Prime Minister is silent. He has surrendered and is refusing to fight the pandemic," the Wayanad MP had tweeted.
