BJP claims 'no win scenario' in response to Digvijaya Singh's latest Covid Lockdown plaint

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra on Sunday hit out at senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh after the latter criticized the Centre over the implementation of the nationwide lockdown announced by PM Modi on March 24.

Digvijaya in a tweet said that the Centre should have given at least 4 days to the people prior to announcing the lockdown just like what other countries did. Patra said that all Congress leaders do is keep complaining and they should learn to say "thank you" sometimes.

'Learn to thank others sometimes'

Sambit Patra responding to Digvijaya's tweet in Hindi wrote, "Whatever the government would have done, you would have complained about it. If the government had given 4 days, then you would be crying over the hoarding of essential goods. It is said that in those four days, there was a lot of movement and the infection spread. So learn to thank others sometimes."

Digvijaya Singh had said, "Modi Ji, everyone should be treated equally. If you would have given 4 days in the message given to the country on 24 March instead of 4 hours to prepare for the lockdown as given by other countries, then this problem would not have arisen. But you have got that attitude "Me and my wish"
