Congress is in favor of keeping the fourth extension of the lockdown more flexible, given the ever-increasing difficulties of the economy and the serious challenges of employment between the lockdown and the Corona transition. The party believes that to restart the country's economic engine, after May 18, the strictness of lockdown should only be in the red zone areas. That is why in the meeting with the Prime Minister, the Chief Ministers of Congress-ruled states demanded the states to increase the scope of exemption for economic activities in the event of increased lockdown.

Chidambaram to the head of the party's media department, Randeep Surjewala advocated giving more powers to the states about the lockdown, citing the deepening crisis of employment from the economic wheel. So that states can also take steps to start the economy and business afresh and also control the infection of Corona epidemic according to the ground situation.
