Why 'baby' lockdown when COVID cases are rising in UP?: Priyanka
Criticising the Uttar Pradesh government over growing COVID-19 cases in the state, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday (July 13) questioned the logic behind imposing a 55-hour-long weekend lockdown – ‘baby pack’ as she called it- in the state.
“No one has understood the logic behind the baby pack of the weekend lockdown,” she tweeted showing the rising number of COVID-19 cases between July 10 and 12, which has stayed above 1,300.
