The Congress dubbed the stimulus package of Rs 20 lakh crore announced by PM Narendra Modi as one that only grabs headlines. The Congress and the CPI(M) said India was disappointed by the PM's silence on migrants' woes. The Congress said the nation was disappointed by PM Modi’s “failure” to address the woes of migrants. Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said the heartbreaking human tragedy of migrants walking back home needed compassion and care. "Dear PM, What you said today gives the country and the media a headline," he said on Twitter. "When the 'blank page' is filled with 'Heartfelt help of people', the nation and Congress party will respond. "India is deeply disappointed by your utter lack of empathy, sensitivity and failure to address the woes of millions of migrant workers," he said in a series of tweets. His colleague, Manish Tewari, tweeted, "PMs speech can be summed up in one word - HEADLINE HUNTING. A NUMBER -20 LAKH CRORES. NO DETAILS." Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, however, welcomed the package.
