Rahul set forth three key demands in his tweet, covering areas that he had previously focussed on Medium and small-scale industries, farmers and workers; health care, and defense.

Ever since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic last year, Rahul Gandhi had focussed on the plight of MSMEs and workers and implored the Narendra Modi government to initiate direct money transfers to the most vulnerable.
