Rahul Gandhi attacks govt over closing down of MSMEs during pandemic

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi attacked the government over the issue of shutting down of MSMEs during the Covid pandemic.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday took a swipe at the government over the issue of shutting down of MSMEs during the Covid pandemic, saying it means "benefit" to friends and no employment opportunities in a weak economy.

The government, he said, has admitted in Parliament that nine percent Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have shut down during the pandemic.
