Many Union ministers and other party leaders also tweeted about the highest approval ratings of Modi amidst the global fight against the pandemic, saying the country has full confidence in his leadership at the time of this crisis.

PM Modi-led government has been taking various measures and issuing guidelines to combat the virus outbreak in the country. According to reports, Modi has called for an interaction with the state chief ministers on 27 April amid the nationwide lockdown. One of the key issues in Monday meeting which is likely to be raised particularly from chief ministers of non-BJP ruled states is the need for more financial assistance from union government to fight the pandemic.
