Andhra Pradesh is spending much faster than its earning or even repaying its prior debts. With revenue sources broken and future inflows in question due to the pandemic, are these debt-fueled expenses sustainable?

Courtesy of @covidwire_in, this piece argues for India taking lessons from states with historically weak capacity and performance indicators. Rajasthan might be the way to go for India! #COVID19#rajasthan@RajCMO

Analysing the claims of @JagdeepChhokar regarding the MPLADS program. Several intellectuals have also demanded its permanent suspension. We disagree! It's an important mechanism of decentralising decisions regarding public infrastructure.

Anyone who cares about press freedom in India should speak up about Yogi Adityanath’s thuggish attempt to intimidate @svaradarajan for doing his job as a journalist. v @tunkuv https://t.co/LN7gBr3w7K
Mohan continues his series on #coronavirusinIndia. It has effected tremendous changes in our behavior, economy, and society. Are these here to stay or will we forget these lessons?

Sir, check your numbers & claims. Your numbers are based on old reports. 8-10% of our GDP is above $ 200 billion. Our 2020 budget itself was $430 billion. You expect again a stimulus that is half our budget?? Please bring a white paper on what @ysjagan govt has done as stimulus.
I request the @PMOIndia@narendramodi to provide a comprehensive fiscal stimulus worth at least 8-10 % percent of GDP as early as possible to reboot the economy. The impact of #Corona for India is estimated to be about US Dollar 348 billion. @ysjagan
We have 10 crore+ migrant workers, who build our dream homes and run the economy. If we don't care for them but spend crores bringing back people from abroad, what does it say about us, our priorities, and our empathy as a nation?

The gram volunteers were expected to help immensely during the #CoronavirusOutbreak. But they have remained a failure. Long queues, nil returns. These resignations show how dysfunctional the volunteer system & bureaucracy are!

AP govt hasn't shown sufficient seriousness in handling the #CoronavirusOutbreak in past few weeks. This was the case all across India. But we expect CM @ysjagan to take the threat seriously atleast now! He's spending more time on shooting his press meets than our corona cases.
USA always neglected its public healthcare system despite decades of research showing how this hurts its people. The #CoronavirusOutbreak has showed up its deficiencies. This could serve as a wakeup call on the need to make its healthcare universal & affordable.

With migrant workers and the needy unable to access rations and being out of jobs, several states are feeding them through affordable canteens. The AP govt must step up too! #LetsFightCorona#APDeservesBetter@ysjagan@AndhraPradeshCM
Need for Andhra Pradesh to increase its testing rate massively. Must get more testing sites approved by ICMR. We must ensure that every district and major urban area has one testing site for #COVIDー19.

#Covid_19 cases in Andhra Pradesh have almost doubled overnight. Total 40 positive cases in the state now. Hope the govt is doing its best to ramp up our facilities and testing capacity.
#LetsFightCorona
Important points raised by authors on the plight of migrant workers trying to go home due to #LockdownWithoutPlan. Our govt spending millions to bring back citizens from abroad, can't it spend to transport these workers home?
