Former FM P. Chidambaram say headline and blank page for Rs 20 Lakh Crore package


May 13: Former Finance Minister, P Chidambaram has said that the Prime Minister’s announcement of a Rs 20 lakh crore package is like a headline and blank page.

Former FM also said, he looks forward to learning the details of the package. The package will be made public by Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman today who will be addressing media at 4pm.

“Yesterday, PM gave us a headline and a blank page. Naturally, my reaction was blank. Today, we look forward to the FM filling the blank page. We will carefully count every additional Rupee that the government will infuse into the economy”, the former Finance Minister also said.

The first thing we will look for, is what the poor, hungry and devastated migrant workers can expect. Migrants have walked hundreds of kilometres to their home states. Hence, We will examine who gets what. We will also examine what the bottom half of the population will get in terms of real money, Chidambaram said.
