"Even the pandemic was used for party politics. The Congress crossed all limits during the first wave (March-April 2020) when the country was going through the lockdown. All experts were saying stay where you are, but Congress party workers at Mumbai railway station encouraged people to leave Maharashtra, go to UP and Bihar from wherever they had come. You forced labourers into several problems," said Modi while lashing out at the Congress.
