"There is no other force greater than the spirit of our enthusiasm," he added. PM Modi added that "We are all together in the battle against Coronavirus, we must understand the strength of the unit."
He also said that "Today when crores of people are inside homes, then some of us may think how will they fight this battle against coronavirus alone. Such questions might come up in your mind? But please remember, none of us is alone. The strength of 130 crores of Indians is with each one of us."
