In a 3-minute, 38-second video clip released two days back, Rahul Gandhi has hit out at the Narendra Modi government, saying, "What is it about India's situation that has made China act in such an aggressive way? What is it about this moment in time that has allowed the Chinese to have the confidence that they can move against a country like India?"

A few days back, the Congress leader had warned the BJP that by August 10 India will cross the two million-mark in Covid-19 cases and advised the government to take appropriate steps after India crossed one million cases.
