The Coronavirus pandemic has taken over the world. It has not only impacted the world of cricket but it has also had an impact on all the other sports. There is no cricket action scheduled until 14th April as the outbreak is getting more dangerous day by day. Delhi has been one of the hotspots of this virus as many residents of Delhi have tested positive for COVID-19.
Former Indian opener and BJP leader, Gautam Gambhir, reacted to Arvind Kejriwal’s deputies for claiming that there is a shortage of funds. He replied to the Chief Minister of Delhi and the founder of Aam Aadmi Party, Kejriwal, saying that his party has issued contradicting statements.
CM @ArvindKejriwal & his Dy say funds are needed. Though their massive egos didn’t allow them to take 50 L from my LAD fund earlier, I pledge 50 L more so that innocents don’t suffer!
1 CR would at least solve urgent need for masks & PPE kits for days Hope they prioritize Delhi pic.twitter.com/b1ve6gkWOZ

Gautam said that the time for talks has ended as now is the time to take action. He claimed that he has 1,000 PPE kits but he does not know where to deliver them. Gambhir asked Kejriwal about the delivery location and mentioned that he is waiting for the Chief Minister’s reply. He even used the #DelhiNeedsHonesty.
