In the wake of the end of lockdown 3 by May 17, the prime minister Narendra Modi extensively held a conference with the chief ministers of all the states on Monday. He invited the opinions of the CMs on the extension of lockdown.
But then, the CMs exhibited mixed responses on extension. While a few CMs of states such as Telangana, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Bihar suggested for extension, many others opposed citing that the economy took a drastic dip in respective states.
Here is a breaking news. The PM will address the nation tonight at 8 pm. Summing up the views of all CMs and his advisors, the PM might have taken some crucial decisions to be implemented from May 18. He may divulge them in today's speech.
De facto, the PM is on people's side. He is planning firmly for a sensible exit of lockdown. In accordance, he may announce lockdown's extension until this month end with many more relaxations including public transport would be proposed by him. Let's await what's there in PM's mind.
