Congress stalwart Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said rebuilding India will begin once Prime Minister Narendra Modi acknowledges his mistakes and seeks help from experts as living in denial will not solve anything.
In his Twitter handle, while sharing the report, Gandhi - "This is the result of GOI's pandemic mismanagement. But we must look at the future now. Rebuilding our country will begin when PM acknowledges his mistakes and seeks help from the experts.”
Rahul said this while citing a report quoting World Bank’s data on poverty where India has a share of 57.3 percent in rise in global poverty during the Covid pandemic. “Living in denial will not solve anything,” he added.
Gandhi quoted a graph of the report, which claimed that India has contributed most to the rise in global poverty during the pandemic and its share of global change is 57.3 percent and 59.3 percent for poor and middle-income groups respectively. The report cited World Bank data on estimated numbers of people who fell below the global poverty line or fell out of the middle-income group.
