New Delhi, May 4 (TIWN) After announcing that it will bear the cost of railway tickets for migrant workers, the Congress has launched an all out attack on the government.
Taking a dig at the ruling dispensation, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi said that if the government can spent Rs 100 crore for the “Namaste Trump” event and the Railway Minister can donate Rs 151 crore to the PM-CARE fund, why the same reciprocity can’t be shown for the distressed migrants.
She also said that people have been evacuated from foreign locations free of cost, so why charge the migrants for train tickets. “Labourers are nation builders, but today they are forced to stumble here and there which is causing pain,” Priyanka Gandhi tweeted.
