NDTV
Congress has been alleging that the government has not released the actual COVID-19 death figures
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday claimed that 40 lakh Indians died during the coronavirus pandemic due to the government's "negligence" and once again demanded that all families of the deceased be given Rs four lakh compensation each. मोदी जी ना सच बोलते हैं, ना बोलने देते हैं।वो तो अब भी झूठ बोलते हैं कि oxygen shortage से कोई नहीं मरा!मैंने पहले भी कहा था - कोविड में सरकार की लापरवाहियों से 5 लाख नहीं, 40 लाख भारतीयों की मौत हुई।फ़र्ज़ निभाईये, मोदी जी - हर पीड़ित परिवार को ₹4 लाख का मुआवज़ा दीजिए। pic.twitter.com/ZYKiSK2XMJ
Taking to Twitter, Mr Gandhi shared the screenshot of a New York Times report which claimed that India is stalling the WHO's efforts to make global Covid death count public.
"Modi ji neither speaks the truth, nor lets others speak. He still lies that no one died due to oxygen shortage!" Gandhi charged in a tweet in Hindi along with the screenshot of the report.
