The key demands raised by Congress leaders and workers, through the campaign, were for direct cash transfer of Rs. 7,500 per month for a period of six months for poor households, distribution of free ration to the needy, a financial package to help the MSME, safe transportation of the stranded migrants back to their native towns and villages and increasing the work days under MGNREGA to 200. These were also part of an 11-point charter of demands agreed upon by 22 Opposition parties, who had held a video conference with the interim Congress president recently to discuss ways of forcing the Centre's hand to provide relief to the citizens over and above the Rs. 20 lakh crore economic package, which was announced by Modi in his last televised address to the nation a fortnight ago.
