Corona labor migration economic stimulus

To,      Date; 15.05.20
          Sh Narendra D. Modi,
          Hon’ble Prime Minister of India,
          7, Lok Kalyan Marg, New Delhi-110001.

Sub;   Corona and economic Stimulus

Sir,
Indian economy can never be same again if more than 10 million workers have been shunted out of jobs. That means as much less demand consequently less production leading to further less employment. What would so called fictitious stimulus do if it can't stop more than 10 million workers from travelling back to their villages in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

No one who lost their jobs or were unemployed or landlords got their monthly paychecks out of this 20 lakh crores ??

No stimulus can be helpful unless demand revives. Govt has to first remove its own created fear psychosis so that people start shopping. Demand is not much for necessities. Most of the demand is for show off or comparisons. Unless people start socializing, going out there would be no demand. To revive demand particularly in non essentials luxuries, travel or high end products unless govt removes the its own imposed fear psychosis gripping the public.
