Where Modi is luckiest is that his government has not had to do anything especially involving huge spending on the healthcare or the economic front. It is the state governments that are in the forefront of the battle against COVID-19. During his periodic media appearances, the Prime Minister is not even expected to spell out the steps being taken for sustaining the livelihood of the majority or reviving an economy in deep freeze. There are a hundred burning questions, such as, about: migrants going home; their need for food, essentials and shelter; rations for their families and life after lockdown; checking police violence; stocks of medicines, testing kits, protective gear, ventilators and critical medical supplies; the safety of doctors and healthcare workers; grants, loans and money payable to states; and, plans for the economy including income and food support for the weakest and vulnerable.
