India will cross 10 lakh-mark of Covid-19 cases this week: Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said the total number of coronavirus cases in the country will cross the 10 lakh-mark this week.

"This week, the figure of 10,00,000 will be crossed in our country," he said in a tweet in Hindi.

With 28,498 fresh cases recorded in the last 24 hours, India's Covid-19 tally crossed nine lakh on Tuesday, just three days after it crossed the eight lakh-mark.

Gandhi had on Monday questioned the Centre’s claims on battling Covid-19, asking if India was at a "good position" in the battle against the virus.
