    While Raga is meeting Ragu. Our dear prime leader has purchased two Boeing planes for 8458 crores for his travel. Now we know where the PM Cares funding is going. No transparency at all with funds, we should name this as PM CARElines, while existing PM fund was there, he had to make it about himself and get the money. As per his own words, amazin fakir aadmi.

    At this point anyone , I repeat anyone other than the prime leader or his minions are better. Uneducated ministers, WhatsApp universities, poisonous media, fake gurus, blatant propaganda, no scientific planning, pitiable economic measures, because of the blind followers the entire nation has to suffer. The total IQ of the current govt can be measured in both of Raga's hands

    Sometimes I started feeling if Rahul Gandhi is the Prime Minister.

    People do not know what our PM is doing? There is no news of him speaking to experts on the issue and the steps that is being proposed in the situation we are in now and post Corona. Shouting only Social Distancing.... Social Distancing …. will not help. He needs to come to the people with some concrete steps. He just left the migration workers and Daily wage workers to mend themselves without any food or economical protection. It is our luck that we have Samaritans who took care of these people thoughout the country.

    Now the impact has even reached white collared jobs and as a first step pay cuts are announced for Senior People. PM needs to talk to the people through Press Conference and enhance their confidence by discussing the Blue Print for the future of India.

    Less communication during this hour of crisis shows the nervousness of PM. He should lead from the front.

    Looks like Raghuram Rajan is trying to join politics. why on earth will he have a conversation with RaGA of all the people? What purpose does it server, besides some Congi supporters terming it as a ressurection of RaGa .? Rajan should not that, with the Gandhi family at the helm, Cong is extint, Perhaps a safe constituency in Kerala like RaGa?

    Bhakths wont be jealous, they would indeed be very happy and elated. As long as RaGa resorts to l these gimmics of lashing, bashing, mocking the Govt, its just a campaigning for BJP. All including the Congi Ghulams know that , at the end of the day RaGa has to contest from a safe constituency in Kerala to win on a special criteria to just survive in politics by feeding them the 'EVM' chewing gum to keep them chewing for the next 5 years.

    It looks like Kapil sharma show gone online. must be really comedy. I am sure as Kapil speaks himself there will be an agreement between 2 pappus that only 1 pappu former NPA Rbi Governor will speak and other Pappu will just listen to it. then he will stress it during during election campaign to entertain the nation. Waiting for pappu comedy circus soon. because of his NPA records UK also rejected to give him job.

    We all know who the real pappu is, sitting on top having no clue about governing a nation. Making foolish statements one after another, your IT cell has worked overtime in maligning the pappu name while hiding the goof up of your prime leader . The country has been made keechad out of which only lotus blooms. Indian middle class will have to pay badly for years because of these people

Now, these both preaching on the economy and thinking about how to improve economy by giving more loans.? Who takes them seriously now.? Raghuram Rajan should have been a whistleblower when Antonio Maino was looting our economy.

    It is high time that Rahul Gandhi and the Congress constitute an internal team of professionals in line with the Ministries of the GOI as done during the leadership of late Rajiv Gandhiji during V.P.Singh Government. They should keep briefing the nation on various issues that have stunted development dearly since 2014-15 in our nation - post Demonetisation, GST, Destabilising Opposition State Governments, Lockdown and its consequences on the common man, Systematic steep fall in GDP, Destabilising RBI functioning, poor performance in ministries and COVID 19.

    @R.B,
    RG had in conversation with RaghuRam Rajan.
    Rajan said that for a long period of lockdown Rs. 66,000 crores are required to feed the poor.
    MODI CHAIWALA ALREADY FED 67,000 CRORES TO RICH FUGITIVES AND MAGGIE RAMDEV.
    Chaiwala Modi fed 66,000 crores to fugitives richest big shots.
    So how he give to the poor?
    Autamatically half or more of the 66,000 may reach to Nagpur.
    Rajan also suggested, systematically easing the lockdown is required.
