Dear Mr Ambani,thanks for pointing out that if India were hit By a pandemic Like situation in Congress regime, things would have been far different.
Lets understand how things would have been better off n Not punishing & messed up if we had had to go through a lockdown in UPA era
Migrant laborers & their kids wont have needed to walk 1000s of KMs at 38~40 degrees barefoot.
The UPA govt would have provided them proper transport facilities,that too in advance b4 imposing the sudden lockdown, Like the clueless Modi govt did.

Millions of #MigrantWorkers struggled to get back home aft #unplannedlockdown finished their livelihood,but #Modi govt didnt get tired from harassing,torturing them in multiple ways.

With or without Digital India push, this won't have happened in UPA era

Received a call from Mr @HardeepSPuri, Hon Min of State for Commerce and Industry, GOI today afternoon. Had a long discussion with him on the steps to Revive the Economy and submitted my inputs for his consideration. (1/n)
Following were my inputs:
1. All announcements made as part of #AtmaNirbharBharat Package were about liquidity infusion & making cash available through Financial Institutions. The focus on demand side is lacking. Govt has to put money in people's hands. (2/n)
2. Govt can categorize sectors into 'minor affected', 'medium affected' & 'severely affected'. Help can be extend to a particular sector either in the form of financial or taxation or others forms based on the category under which a sector falls. (3/n)

This is at a crisis point! The problem is too huge for a simplistic solution, is that why we are stunned into inaction? #MigrantLabourers #COVID19India
Default casualties of a national crisis are people living at the margins of our collective awareness. This pricks our conscience, makes for sensational reporting, bit of outrage (like mine) but can’t Government deal with this like the disaster it is, call in NDRF, army & more?

Only Rajasthan , Maharashtra , Kerala made migrant labourers pay ₹1000 charge for journey . @INCIndia which runs the first , partner in second , promoter of third wakes up early in the morning & issues a statement telling Party will pay for it .., #MigrantLabourers
In the mean time Tripura , Karnataka , Madhya Pradesh , Bihar , Chatthisgarh , Jharkand have paid either for their State people or at the origin .. Usual suspects jump on the wagon & make it another 12 hour of negative news . #MigrantLabourers
Railways already subsidises 57% of passenger fare . 1/3 rd passengers & empty train on return journey adds another 28%. This 85% is borne by railways . It’s asking another 15% from states of origin not #MigrantLabourers

As of Monday (April 6, 2020), the number of deaths due to #Coronavirus in India stand at 83. But I was also thinking maybe one ought to look at non-Covid 19 deaths too. Deaths due to various circumstances under the #lockdown #covid19 #CoronavirusinIndia
1. Ravneer Singh (30) died in Kaliash Mod, Uttar Pradesh. A native of Badfra village, Morena district, this father of 3 worked as a delivery agent in Delhi. Walked 200 km before dying of exhaustion

2. Gangaram Yeleng (62) who died in Majuragate after walking 8 km from New Civil Hospital to Pandesara, Gujarat

@narendramodi It'd be useful to have a centralized (govt) twitter handle (& dashboard on portal) tracking #coronavirusindia so that correct data is available to all Indians at any given time, panic is reduced, & measures taken or expedited where necessary.
@MoHFW_INDIA @NITIAayog #CoronaAlert
@narendramodi @MoHFW_INDIA @NITIAayog + #Covid19 & #lockdown is a #Chakravyuh we've all entered. Whether we emerge as Arjuna or Abhimanyu will depend on how accessible, how well-informed, how well-managed our #exit plan is.
The world over.

@drharshvardhan @capt_amarinder @Naveen_Odisha @amitabhk87 @WHO @OfficeofUT
@narendramodi @MoHFW_INDIA @NITIAayog @drharshvardhan @amitabhk87 +Honble @PMOIndia is a rolemodel & we tend2 copy what he does, how he conducts himself.

Alarming & highly negligent of those who designed & released the "Dear Farmers" newspaper ad (incl #DAVP @MIB_India) with a pic of PM in a "mask" with nose exposed!
