Corona cases did not freeze in lockdown, but GDP went flat, Rajiv Bajaj spoke to Rahul Gandhi

In the midst of the Corona crisis, the country's economy is continuously besieging the government. Former Congress president and MP from Wayanad Rahul Gandhi is an attacker on the Modi government. They are discussing with experts and industrialists on the coronavirus, lockdown and the country's economy. In this sequence, discussed with Rajiv Bajaj, Managing Director of Bajaj Auto on Thursday.

This did not happen even at the time of World War

In a conversation with former Congress president Rahul Gandhi through video conference, Bajaj also said that many important people are afraid to speak and in such a situation we need to improve some things in India to be tolerant and sensitive. is. During the conversation, Rahul Gandhi asked how is the situation here, in response to this, Bajaj said that there is a new environment for everyone. We are trying to get into it. Meanwhile a lot is happening with the business. Rahul Gandhi asked that no one thought that the lockdown would happen in the whole world, it did not happen even during the time of World War.

Extremely harsh lockdown in India

On this Rajiv Bajaj said that a very strict lockdown has been imposed in India. This has not happened anywhere in the world. Unlike in our country, exit was allowed in many countries. Bajaj said that there were many shortcomings in the lockdown here and because of this the virus infection spread, but the other activities stopped. In this way we did not solve the problem, rather it stalled the economy. We flat out the wrong graph. The graph of GDP became flat, not the graph of corona infected patients.

India looked to the West

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that there are some people who can deal with the Corona crisis, but there are crores of workers who have faced difficulties. In response to this, Bajaj said that India looked towards the West countries, while we should have adopted the practice of those countries of the East which did better despite all the difficulties. I think we lacked facts. People feel that this disease is like cancer. There is a need to change the mindset of people and get them on track. This may take a long time.

Need to get fear out of people's minds

Bajaj said, I think the first problem is to get fear out of people's minds. There should be a clear discussion about this. He said, people listen to the Prime Minister. In such a situation, now (they) need to say that we are moving forward, everyone is in control and do not be afraid of infection.

On the economic package announced by the government, Bajaj said that out of the governments that have been given in many countries of the world, two thirds have gone into the hands of the people. But in our hands only 10 percent has gone.
