According to the information received from the sources, Congress President Sonia Gandhi has decided that every unit of the State Congress Committee will bear the expenses of the ticket for the train journey and take necessary steps. In a statement issued on Monday, it was said that due to the lockdown being implemented on only four hours notice, the workers of the country were deprived of going back to their homes. After 1947, the country saw this kind of scene for the first time when labourers walked thousands of kilometres on foot.

Sonia Gandhi said in a statement that "while we can bring back the stranded Indians abroad without any expense, in a program in Gujarat, we can spend 100 crores from the state exchequer to Prime Minister's Relief Fund why can't you afford to give money to labourers in difficult times? Significantly, when the lockdown came into force on March 24, then lakhs of workers were stuck where they were. After that, now after about 40 days, they have been allowed to go home, on the request of the state governments, the central government has approved a special train for this, but during this time the state government will bear the fare of the workers, which will be taken from the workers only. This decision of the Railway Ministry has been severely criticized, not only political parties and state governments have opposed it but it has also been criticized on social media.
