No reference to the #20LakhCrorePackage in @nsitharaman press conference today; everything being said about farmers and migrants are hollow because fiscal implications are zero. Basically they are getting nothing from this #Rs20J000000000MLA

Only Liquidity Infusion announcements by @nsitharaman, No Spending Plan or Fiscal Stimulus! Why did @PMOIndia mention #20lakhcrores "economic package" yesterday? Is it a tragedy or farce? #Rs20J000000000MLA

30 minutes gone, no details yet for #20lakhcrores
Only hearing about mother fund, daughter fund, definition change etc. for MSMEs. How much is the additional fiscal outlay for MSMEs? No clarity yet. Is this #Rs20J000000000MLA

The Union Budget presented on February 1 had earmarked a total expenditure of Rs. 30.4 trillion for 2020-21. Is the Rs. 20 trillion just announced by @PMOIndia over and above that Rs. 30 trillion or is it a New Budget with reduced total expenditure of Rs. 10 trillion?

There should be a calibrated and state-specific lockdown exit strategy
I think the damage to the economy is being underestimated. But the lockdown should not be withdrawn in the way it was imposed: @boseprasenjit1, Economist tells Navika Kumar on @thenewshour. | #EndLockdownDebate

As per the suppressed NSS Report, the LFPR has declined from 39.5% in 2011-12 to 36.9% in 2017-18, which means millions have dropped off the labour force in the last 6 years..Yet the bhakts continue to lie and mislead
Need to read this number with nuance. A higher unemployment rate indicates that more people are actively looking for work. This is half positive indicating that many millions now believe jobs will be available even if not of satisfactory kind
