Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav on Friday termed as unfortunate the politicisation of the issue of coronavirus and said the government should focus on preparing a roadmap for the unemployed "Politicisation of coronavirus is unfortunate. This diverts attention from core issues and real and justified questions on quarantine, screening, testing of virus, treatment, supply of milk-medicine, vegetable-foodgrain take backseat. Government should remember, 'bhookh' (hunger) cannot be isolated," he said in a tweet in Hindi.

"The unemployment rate is increasing andnews of 5 crore persons getting unemployed is worrisome. The government should prepare a roadmap for these unemployed otherwise there would be serious problem due to hunger," he said.

"Everyone should get medicine and food and employment after lockdown," he said.
