What should Governments do in these situations. People expects the Prime Minister will do well in the coming days and appropriate action is taken on the many matters.
The Government has to take explicit security measures regarding the unorganized sector. The peasant laborers in agriculture are as important as the workers in the unorganized sector.
They all need to carry out safe activities such as housing, Jan Dhan Yojana and health insurance. If such lockdowns occur in the future, they should be provided with a safe environment. It is clear that the health system in the country is not so strong.
The creation of basic health centers with modern facilities, specialists and medical staff at the basic level are very necessary.
The World Health Organization created a questionnaire reviewing the capabilities to combat the coronavirus in last January. When asked how much the Government has checked their capabilities as set out in this questionnaire on laboratories, equipment, surveillance, threat assessment, fast response teams, epidemic prevention and control measures. The reply was silent. There is no horn of money in this country.
When the election comes, thousands of crores will appear. Local elections are also raining in cash. Many problems can be solved if these sources of money are realized and put into the system.
Those who have defrauded the public sector money of trillion rupees have to think about how many of them will survive individually and live comfortably.
Avoiding Crony Capitalism can hinder quid pro quo and build a healthy economy. That leaves the opportunity to pollute some politics with the same money.
Especially to avoid unnecessary spending the Central Government should take appropriate steps. The Prime Minister held a meeting with various parties. In the meeting opposition leaders questioned the need to build a new parliament building with 20 thousand crores. Whether the existing National Museum, Vigyan Bhavan, Prime Minister's Office, Parliament, Vice President's Residence, various ministries will collapse or move to new buildings.
Does that mean how many crores of rupees are wasted. Governments also need to think about the need to nurture many unnecessary systems, In addition to increasing new unnecessary costs.
It is necessary to determine whether the cost of each project, is worth thousands of crores. Transparent governance, with the right to information and the means to public audit, will save thousands of crores of rupees in the system.
Tragically, the coronavirus is not contagious, but the most difficult task is to eradicate the virus of corruption in the country. Modi's thinking in that direction will be welcomed.
However, Government rule on covid19 and financial matters will soon be examined by the public in the coming days.
