The first recorded case of coronavirus was in Kerala on January 30 of this year. The Left and Democratic Front (LDF) government of Kerala led by Com Pinarayi Vijayan moved swiftly to face the challenge. It mobilised the entire people of Kerala in its efforts, the local bodies, the class and mass organisations of working people, various civil society organizations, the entire medical and para medical personnel and support staff. Till date, the Kerala government has been the best performer by far in India in meeting the Covid19 challenge, and has also won global acclaim.
The government of India, on the other hand, did not respond seriously for nearly two months, from January 30 till the last week of March, waiting for Trump’s visit and the BJP master-minded change of government in Madhya Pradesh to be successfully completed. It finally responded on March 24 in a most ham-handed manner by imposing a national lockdown, giving less than four hours’ notice. This had a devastating impact on millions of migrant workers, leaving them stranded in various cities, far from their families, with no place to stay and no income. It destroyed access to livelihoods and incomes for nearly 80% of our households, as business establishments closed down across the country. The government has continued to make a complete mess of handling the pandemic as well as its economic consequences. In this article, we shall provide an overview of the Modi government’s economic policies and their consequences during the period of the pandemic and lockdown.
Hope it helps you...Have a great day ahead...
