Modi thanks Trump,says nations mustwork together PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

New Delhi, 16 May

Prime Minister Narendra Modion Saturday said that in thesetimes of a global health crisiscaused by Covid-19, it is impor-tant for nations to work togeth-er and do as much as possibleto make the world healthier.

The prime minister wasresponding to a tweet by USPresident Donald Trump,announcing the US’ decision todonate ventilators to India, andthe cooperation between thetwo countries in developing avaccine to treat the virus.

“Thank you @POTUS@realDonaldTrump. This pan-demic is being fought collec-tively by all of us,” the primeminister tweeted.

He said in such times,“it's always important fornations to work together anddo as much as possible tomake our world healthier

and free from Covid-19”. On Friday, Trump had

tweeted about the cooperationbetween India and the US onvaccine development and thedecision of his administrationto donate ventilators to Indiato help those critically affectedby Covid-19.

“I am proud to announcethat the United States willdonate ventilators to ourfriends in India. We stand withIndia and @narendramodi dur-ing this pandemic,” Trump hadsaid. “We’re also cooperatingon vaccine development.Together we will beat the invis-ible enemy,” he said.

On Wednesday, the PMCARES Fund Trust had decid-ed to allocate ~3,100 crore forthe fight against Covid-19.

Out of ~3100 crore, approx-imately ~2,000 crore will be ear-marked for purchase of venti-lators, and ~100 crore tosupport vaccine development.

Stop being a moneylender, reconsiderpackage, Rahul Gandhi tells CentreARCHIS MOHAN

New Delhi, 16 May

Congress leader Rahul Gandhion Saturday said an economicstorm faces India, and the ~20-trillion package of the gov-ernment would fail to fire up thecountry’s economic engine as ithas offered bank loans to thepeople instead of putting moneyinto their pockets. He appealedto the prime minister to “recon-sider” the package.

In a video conference,Gandhi said the package wasdisappointing as it addressedsupply side issues when theneed is to spur demand andconsumption.

“When a child is hurt, themother doesn’t offer aloan...today, when migrant work-ers are walking on the roads,money needs to be put in theirpockets. Bharat Mata (MotherIndia) should not act as a ‘mon-eylender’ (sahukar) to her chil-dren. Bharat Mata should givemoney to her children becausethey are in need,” Gandhi said.

Later in the evening, the for-mer Congress president took tothe road and interacted withdozens of migrant workers insouth Delhi’s Sukhdev Vihar.

In his conference earlier in

the day with journalists of region-al media, Gandhi said the gov-ernment should have put moneydirectly into the pockets of farm-ers, migrant labourers, and smallbusinesses, but it is worried moreabout fiscal deficit and country’scredit ratings by internationalrating agencies.

Gandhi said any rating wouldbe meaningless if the Indianeconomy does not restart, andthat can only happen if the mon-ey is put into people’s pockets.“It will be catastrophic if we donot. It will overshadow the (dam-age by the) disease,” Gandhi said.

Gandhi said his job as anOpposition leader was to createpressure on the government,and that is what he is trying to

do with his critique of the pack-age. In his recent press confer-ences, Gandhi has spoken ofproviding constructive opposi-tion, and that this was not thetime for finger pointing. “We arein the Opposition and canchoose to create pressure on thegovernment either with hatred,or with warmth,” Gandhi said.He said his approach is the lat-ter. On Maharashtra’s handlingof the crisis and whether he isputting pressure on that government as well, Gandhi saidthere is a difference between aCongress-run government andan alliance government.

He said he cannot put thesame kind of pressure on analliance government that he

can on a Congress government.He said Congress governmentsin states such as Chhattisgarhhave been aggressive in helping migrants, farmers, andthe poor by putting money intheir pockets.

Gandhi said all state gov-ernments, including those runby the Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP), have complained thatthe Centre is not providingthem with enough funds. Hesaid the strategy of the Centreshould have been decen-tralised, to be a manager andlet the states be at the forefrontof fighting this battle. “I haveheard the reason for not givingmoney to people is the govern-ment’s worry that an increasedfiscal deficit would downgradeIndia’s ratings by internationalrating agencies,” he said.

Gandhi said he would sug-gest the government to not payheed to the ratings at the cur-rent juncture, which would befine if India’s workers andfarmers start working. “Makepolicies with India in yourmind, not what foreignerswould think,” he said. He alsointeracted with a group ofmigrant labourers in Delhi andasked them about their prob-lems as they walked home.

Local conditions to guidelockdown 4.0: ShivrajPRESS TRUST OF INDIA

New Delhi, 16 May

Madhya Pradesh Chief MinisterShivraj Singh Chouhan onSaturday said that local circum-stances are likely todictate the next phaseof the lockdown as hespoke of the sufferingsof the poor andpitched for kickstart-ing economic activi-ties outside placeswhere the spread ofthe coronavirus infec-tion is high.

Speaking toreporters through a video con-ference, he also called for coor-dination among states to ensurethat migrant workers are pro-vided transport to reach theirhomes so that tragedies like the

road accident in Uttar Pradesh,that killed 24, are avoided.

Huge numbers of migrantworkers have been walking hun-dreds of kilometres from severalbig cities towards their villages as

an extended lock-down has madetheir financial con-dition precarious.

His govern-ment has deployed1,000 buses to fer-ry migrant workersand drop thosewho are from otherstates at theMadhya Pradesh

border point, nearest to theirdestination, Chouhan said,asserting that no labourer willhave to walk on roads or behungry as long as he is inMadhya Pradesh.

“When a child is hurt, themother doesn’t offer aloan...today, when migrantworkers are walking on theroads, money needs to beput in their pockets. BharatMata should not act as amoneylender to herchildren. Bharat Matashould give money to herchildren because theyare in need”

BMS slams govt foropening up 8 sectorsARCHIS MOHAN

New Delhi, 16 May

The Bharatiya MazdoorSangh (BMS), the trade unionarm of the RashtriyaSwayamsevak Sangh (RSS),termed Saturday’s announc-ements by Finance MinisterNirmala Sitharaman toincrease privatisation in sec-tors such as coal, defence,and six others as against“national interests”.

The BMS said it was “asad day for the nation andits people”. It said the gov-ernment was going in the“wrong direction” and it was“highly condemnable” thatit did not discuss the pro-posed changes with tradeunions and other stake-

holders.The BMS said, “corpo-

ratisation and PPP (public -private partnership) are theroutes for privatisation, andprivatisation is the route forforeignisation.”

It slammed the govern-ment for taking advantageof the crisis to push thesemeasures.

The BMS, which has alsoopposed the changes inlabour laws announced bysome of the state govern-ments, said the govern-ment’s plea that it has nooption but to privatise sec-tors such as coal, airspace,defence production, andothers shows a “dearth ofideas on economic revivalin times of crisis”.

Chouhan calledfor states toensure thatmigrant workersare providedtransport toreach theirhomes
