As you may already be aware, India is a very poor country with huge income disparity. A huge portion of the population lives under extreme poverty. The government right now has basically zero cares about the economy. They will remain in power anyways, thanks to propaganda and pandering to the general public by scapegoating Muslims (Yes, that's something a good amount of people seem to like here, enough to have them win the elections with an overwhelming majority).
Economy in the country has been on the decline since quite some time already but this pandemic is gonna absolutely destroy it. The worst thing? It's not just the pandemic's fault, not only is the government doing jackshit about it, they are rather making the situation worse. No stimulus packages. No relief packages by the central government, either. Now, I understand the logistics of doing something like that in a country with a population of 1.3 billion people is bar impossible.
Except the problem is that instead of helping the people, the government is blowing up funds and racking in the donations for themselves. There is something called PM cares fund here and during this pandemic celebrities and other rich people have donated some ludicrous amounts to it. When the PM was asked about why that fund isn't being used, he had no answer. He refused any investigations about it too. Simply put: It's gone.
Like I said before, this government is all distractions and nothing they do is actually for the betterment of the people. So continuing the fashion, tomorrow military will fly planes and the route will cover every direction of the country. Can you imagine how much that would cost? They could have instead used all that money to help out doctors and stuff. But no. This will be distracting enough for their job to be done.
The PM and the President are also buying their own planes, worth $1.2 billion. Another absolute waste of money when the economy is like this. And don't get me started on something that happened a little earlier, they built a pointless and useless statue that cost $430 million.
So yeah, this government is basically full of shit and do no real work except for throwing distractions at the general public. I fear for the future, once this pandemic shit subsides, an irreparable state of economy will be all that's left.
Thanks for reading, spread this so that more people get to know about the reality of the current government.
