Some of State Chief Ministers are busy in bringing labourers to their home state, demanding buses, trains & flights for this purpose from center, asking for food for them, but without having any concrete plan in their mind how to rehabilitate them, how factories will run without them & how jobs will be created for jobless migrants .They are inviting nothing but chaos.
These Chief Ministets can at best give a few days job to such migrant labourers under MANREGA, but this will neither fulfill hunger and desires of those labourers for good and for ever nor can they provide comforts of life to them which they were enjoying in other states while working in a factory or with some contractors.
Similarly owners of factories will find hardships in getting experience labourers and contractors will face difficulty in getting skilled labourers in every state.
Obviously the near future will come with full of chaotic conditions. It will adversely affect manufacturing of goods and services as also increase unemployment in many states. People will face lesser supply of goods and pay higher prices for available goods as per principles of economy related to demand as ND and supply. This will result in vicious cycle enhancing area and quantum of pain to a larger extent.
Some of leaders are now happy that their states are getting rid of labourers of other states and they will be able to give employment to their own state people. But this will prove to be a mirage for them. Similarly labourers will suffer in their hope states if they fail to get what they are dreaming to get now.
It is true that on account of disproportionate fear of Covid19 virus injected into their mind by some vested interests, labourers feel great relief after reaching their home states. Fact is that risk of Corona virus is throughout the country if social distancing is not maintained and proper precautions are not put in action.
I hope matured leaders in all governments will visualize the situation in its entirety , make resources based pragmatic plan for either rehabilitation of migrant labourers in home states or the heads of states (where these labourers were working before ) arranges adequate place, food, medicine and all required inputs for those labourers who are inclined and constrained to go back to their home states.
It is a fact that state governments, central government and railways ,all are spending huge amount in sending labourers to their home states. But they could have spent the same amount in retaining these migrant where they were.
Media men are also adding fuel to fire as they use to do during all crisis . When labourers were facing trouble in staying at some place, they questioned why government is not making arrangements for bringing labourers to their home state.
When government started arranging trains, buses and flights for this purpose, they are now demanding good food for them in journey and criticising government citing some heartbreaking pictures of few labourers doing their home journey on foot.
When these labourers are tested at starting point or at their destination , they question quarantine , wearing masks and social distancing needs.
When labourers reach home and spread Corona, these media men accuse government of being negligent and point out their accusing fingers towards government when number of Corona victim rises at greater speed after each day.
And so on...
In brief, mediamen opposed to BJP and Modi have a point to criticize the government for all acts it performs.
If government increases purchase price of grains from farmers ,medicament will say that price rise has forced common men to starve and die. If government make efforts to keep prices of commodities stable and adequate they will cite the cases of farmers committing suicide. They have a few exceptional examples to malign the image of the government which they dislike. At the same time they have sufficient point to praise if government is of their choice even when the government is not performing well in any respect. They are all busy in dirtier politics and targeting their TRP only without bothering losses caused to people and to the nation.
I therefore have no hesitation in saying that media men in general are creating negativity and adding always fuel to fire.
Having seen and viewed everything, I hope government will ponder over pros and cons of entire economy and social situations, take prudent wise decision and formulate proper plan and strategies to execute plans in true spirit to win over Corona virus as well as save the economy and protect people who are in pain.
