&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;With his first speech on the coronavirus, Prime Minister Narendra Modi got us to scare evil spirits away by having people bang the hell out of their pots and pans.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;With his second, he scared the hell out of all of us.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;With not a word on how the public, particularly the poor, are to access food and other essentials in coming weeks, it sparked off a panic waiting to happen. The middle classes thronged the stores and markets &amp;ndash; something not easy for the poor. Not for migrants leaving the cities for their villages. Not for small vendors, domestic help, agricultural labourers. Not for farmers unable to complete the rabi harvest &amp;ndash; or stuck with it even if they have. Not for hundreds of millions of marginalised Indians.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The finance minister&amp;rsquo;s package &amp;ndash; announced yesterday, March 26 &amp;ndash; has this one saving grace: 5 kilos of free wheat or rice for each person for three months in addition to the 5 already given under PDS, the public distribution system. Even there &amp;ndash; it is not at all clear if the earlier or existing 5 kilos will also be free or must be paid for. If that&amp;rsquo;s to be paid for, it won&amp;rsquo;t work. Most of the elements of the &amp;lsquo;package&amp;rsquo; are sums allocated for schemes already in existence. The MGNREGA wage hike of Rs. 20 was due anyway &amp;ndash; and where is there any mention of an additional number of days?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;With his first speech on the coronavirus, Prime Minister Narendra Modi got us to scare evil spirits away by having people bang the hell out of their pots and pans.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;With his second, he scared the hell out of all of us.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;With not a word on how the public, particularly the poor, are to access food and other essentials in coming weeks, it sparked off a panic waiting to happen. The middle classes thronged the stores and markets &amp;ndash; something not easy for the poor. Not for migrants leaving the cities for their villages. Not for small vendors, domestic help, agricultural labourers. Not for farmers unable to complete the rabi harvest &amp;ndash; or stuck with it even if they have. Not for hundreds of millions of marginalised Indians.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The finance minister&amp;rsquo;s package &amp;ndash; announced yesterday, March 26 &amp;ndash; has this one saving grace: 5 kilos of free wheat or rice for each person for three months in addition to the 5 already given under PDS, the public distribution system. Even there &amp;ndash; it is not at all clear if the earlier or existing 5 kilos will also be free or must be paid for. If that&amp;rsquo;s to be paid for, it won&amp;rsquo;t work. Most of the elements of the &amp;lsquo;package&amp;rsquo; are sums allocated for schemes already in existence. The MGNREGA wage hike of Rs. 20 was due anyway &amp;ndash; and where is there any mention of an additional number of days?&lt;/p&gt;

What we should do about COVID-19 -P Sainath

-RuralIndiaOnline.org The government’s ‘package’ responding to the crisis is a blend of callousness and cluelessness With his first speech on the coronavirus, Prime Minister Narendra Modi got us to scare evil spirits away by having people bang the hell out of their pots and pans. With his second, he scared the hell out of all of us. With not a word on how the public, particularly the poor, are to access food and other essentials in coming weeks, it sparked off a panic waiting to happen. The middle classes thronged the stores and markets – something not easy for the poor. Not for migrants leaving the cities for their villages. Not for small vendors, domestic help, agricultural labourers. Not for farmers unable to complete the rabi harvest – or stuck with it even if they have. Not for hundreds of millions of marginalised Indians. The finance minister’s package – announced yesterday, March 26 – has this one saving grace: 5 kilos of free wheat or rice for each person for three months in addition to the 5 already given under PDS, the public distribution system. Even there – it is not at all clear if the earlier or existing 5 kilos will also be free or must be paid for. If that’s to be paid for, it won’t work. Most of the elements of the ‘package’ are sums allocated for schemes already in existence. The MGNREGA wage hike of Rs. 20 was due anyway – and where is there any mention of an additional number of days? Please click here to read more.
