Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi has penned an emotional note on Facebook on the COVID-19 pandemic saying, "we shall overcome." She alleged that the government has failed the people and abdicated its responsibility.

She said that she is writing with a heavy heart as many of you have lost your loved ones in past few weeks and many have family members who are struggling for life, and many are grappling with the disease at home, anxious and afraid of what is to come. "There is not a single one of us who has not been affected by this scourge. People across our country are gasping for air, struggling to access medical care or simply to get the next dose of life saving medicine," she wrote.
