New Delhi, April 23 (TIWN) The Congress Working Committee, which met here on Thursday for the second time after the lockdown began, slammed the BJP for fanning communal divisions. It discussed a four-point plan and demanded that the government formulate an exit strategy for the lockdown.

The CWC, the party's highest decision making body, discussed Containment and Treatment; Livelihood Support; Maintenance of Supplies; and Economic Revival.  "CWC notes with concern that the BJP is seeking to inflame communal divisions even as the entire nation battles Covid-19. The virus does not discriminate on the basis of caste, creed, religion or gender," said the CWC resolution.  The Congress said that the fight must be bottom-up instead of top-down, and the government only has a one size fits all policy currently. States should be given adequate financial support starting with releasing their full share of the GST collected so far and allowing them greater fiscal space to borrow.
