Interacting with parliamentary party leaders here, he said the government’s priority was to save each and every life. Claiming that the pandemic forced the government to take strict measures and wait longer when the situation demands it, sources familiar with the discussion said. There were sufficient indications from the prime minister that removing the restrictions at the end of the 21-day blockade period was not favorable. The government is considering all options, including a partial closure or a general extension. Much will depend on the data that is collected with April 10 as the limit. The prime minister will carry out another round of interaction with the chief ministers on Sunday before making a final decision.

Official sources said the Prime Minister told leaders: “It is an event that changes the era in human history and we must evolve to counter its impact.” The leaders appreciated the timely measures. They talked about increasing the health and morale of health workers, increasing testing facilities, the need to help smaller states / UTs, and addressing hunger and malnutrition.
Suggestions were made to extend the blockade and in a gradual exit. Some members raised the issue of the suspension of the MPLADS fund, urging the government to reconsider it. Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Rout said that if necessary, the government could deduct more than 15 percent from the salary. The left sought the reinstatement of MPLADS while increasing allocation to states, serving low-wage, daily wage earners and NRIs returning to India after job loss.
