Modi’s India Isn’t Prepared for the Coronavirus
New Delhi’s lockdown has not stalled the spread of the pandemic ...also a lack of planning has led to hunger, uncertainty, and panic.
BY KAPIL KOMIREDDI | APRIL 13, 2020.
The largest lockdown in history arrived with a four-hour notice. At 8 p.m. on March 24, Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India, appeared on television for the second time in a week to announce that starting at midnight the entire country was going to be effectively curfewed to slow the spread of COVID-19.
A land as populous and tightly peopled as India can become a feast for a disease that thrives on human proximity.

Modi’s decision was necessitated by mounting casualties in countries with health care vastly superior to India’s and proliferating warnings of impending calamity by experts at home.

The sudden exodus of millions of Indians eking out an existence in the cities to distant villages across India bespeaks the malign incompetence of prime minister Modi, who, despite being in command of enormous resources, squandered crucial weeks.

It braided together with a great deal of misery that could, with some preparation, have been mitigated—if not averted altogether.

It wasn’t until March 19 that the government ordered a halt on most exports of lifesaving equipment. An inventory of what was available, made public three days later, revealed the extent of the government’s negligence in the crucial weeks when the global march of the virus had become unstoppable.

There were only 40,000 respiratory systems in a country of more than 1.3 billion people, one isolation bed for every 84,000 people, one doctor for every 39,600 patients, and one hospital bed for every 91,826 Indians.

Modi’s response was mystifyingly relaxed even as the perils of delaying action were becoming apparent in the tragic experiences of other countries.

In the last week of February, he hosted a state visit for U.S. President Donald Trump. Its wasteful extravagance was worthy of the Kims of North Korea:


Dozens of families living in shanties were served eviction notices and a wall was hastily erected to conceal them from president Trump's view.

In March, Modi devoted his energies to toppling the government of Madhya Pradesh, the central Indian state governed by the opposition Indian National Congress party.

Because the prime minister does not take questions from the press—he has not held a single real press conference in his six years as prime minister—

When it was announced finally that Modi was going to address the nation at 8 p.m. on March 19, panic swept through a country that was still recovering from the prime minister’s previous big 8 p.m. speech—in 2016—when he abolished 86 percent of all currency notes in circulation, plunging the country into chaos and precipitating the worst unemployment crisis in decades.

This time, however, Modi was soberer. He asked Indians to observe a “people’s curfew” during the day on Sunday, March 22.
In the evening, however, many poured into the streets to celebrate. There were fireworks and festivities in some cities.

Celebrities applauded Modi’s “masterstroke” and spread the myth that the virus was going to be vaporized by the “reverberations” of mass clapping.

The curfew culminated in a farce. It was only after Modi announced a nationwide lockdown on the evening of March 24 that it began to dawn upon Indians that there was no plan. Modi was repeating what he had done in 2016.

the estimated 75 million migrant workers: the men and women who serve the needs of first-world India’s inhabitants as chauffeurs, servants, cleaners, cooks, and construction hands. This oversight may have been the result of carelessness rather than callousness. But that distinction means nothing to the millions of Indians who find themselves abandoned by the state and left to starve.....a big failure of Modi Govt.

All of India’s entrenched inequities—of caste, of wealth, of religion—have been on vivid display since the lockdown was announced.


The chief justice of India, petitioned by activists urging him to direct the government to pay the wages of stranded migrants, wondered why they needed wages when they were being fed. The lack of thought has led to chaos and severe shortages. Trucks have piled up on the roads. Even the supply chain of medicines has been disrupted.

supapower GDP forecast 0% literally going to shitters ???

Barclays cuts GDP forecast for India to zero for 2020

NEW DELHI: As India extended the nationwide lockdown till 3 May to combat the covid-19 outbreak, Barclays cut its growth forecast for the country to 0% for calendar year 2020 from its earlier projection of 2.5%, holding that the economic fallout will be worse than it had earlier estimated.


“While India’s COVID outbreak has not officially reached the community transmission stage, we believe the existing restrictions on movement are causing much more economic damage than anticipated. Despite being characterised as essential sectors, the negative impact of the shutdown measures on the mining, agriculture, manufacturing and utility sectors appears higher than we had expected," it said in a report.


The investment bank said, combined with the disruption in several service sectors, the economic loss is estimated to be close to $234.4 billion or 8.1% of GDP, assuming that India will remain under a partial lockdown at least until the end of May. “This is much higher than the $120 billion we had estimated earlier for roughly the same time period previously," it said.
