Priyanka Gandhi Praises UP's Decision Step To Bring Back Migrant Workers

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra praised Uttar Pradesh for its decision to bring back migrant workers.

Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday praised Uttar Pradesh government for its decision to bring back migrant workers stranded in different states due to the coronavirus lockdown.

Her remarks came after Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath instructed state officials to prepare a list of migrant workers from Uttar Pradesh stranded in other states to help bring them back.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has been writing to the Chief Minister in this regard and has called for making a plan to bring them back to the state.

"The initiative taken by the Uttar Pradesh government of bringing back stranded migrant workers is laudable. We have been stressing on this issue and this is a positive step in this direction.

"To ensure that this initiative succeeds fully, the state government must evolve a scheme for the return of rest of the labour force. If we continue with this positive cooperation in national good, we will gain a lot strength in our fight against coronavirus," she said in a tweet in Hindi.
