I announce a special economic package today. Special economic relief package for the nation will amount to 20 lakh crore which is nearly 10% of GDP.

Scientists say that coronavirus will be a part of our lives for a very long time. But we can’t let our lives remain confined around Covid-19. We will wear masks and maintain social distancing but we will not let it affect us. So lockdown 4.0 will be in a new form with new rules: PM Modi.
