All their work has come to a standstill during the lockdown," she said in a tweet in Hindi.यूपी सीएम ने पीएम साहब को बुलाकर एक आयोजन कर बताया कि छोटे और मझोले उद्योगों में लाखों रोजगार मिल रहे हैं।

...उनका पूरा काम ठप हो गया। छोटे व्यवसायियों और कारीगरों की हालत बहुत खराब है। हवाई प्रचार नहीं, आर्थिक मदद का ठोस पैकेज ही इन्हें इस तंगहाली से निकाल सकता है। 2/2
