Even in the absence of earnings in a tanking economy, politics in Delhi did not rest. On May 31, construction and manufacturing activities were permitted to resume. Low positivity rate and negligible new daily cases warranted opening of shops that are non essential, BJP led opposition blamed it on Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s reluctance in opening shops and playing with the livelihood of people. Aam Aadmi Party’s Manish Sisodia blamed it on Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal, who being the Chairman of Department Of Delhi Disaster Management Authority did not authorise opening of shops in the Capital. The Lieutenant Governor, in return released the meeting’s agenda in which there was no mention of opening of shops. All that came of the political bickering was Delhi staying in a lockdown stage with shops closed and livelihoods still under threat. With the expectation of third wave in the near future, and no moratorium, survival for Delhi’s shop owners is under grave threat and could bring a catastrophic stage of widespread bankruptcies which our economy is in no stage to survive.
THE VACCINE DILEMMA Delhi and Mumbai, the most prominent cities in India, have repeatedly halted the inoculation process due to the shortage of the jabs. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal says at this rate of vaccination, Delhi will take about 30 months to inoculate the city’s population. With a 6 month expected vaccination validity, it will become a continuous process lasting forever. The Chief Minster also gave a 24 hour task sheet to Prime Minster Narendar Modi, “The Centre should allow all approved foreign vaccines in the country within 24 hours and should hold talks with them. At present, states are negotiating with them. Does this look good? Maharashtra is fighting with Haryana and Delhi is fighting with Maharashtra on the international stage. Vaccine producers will take the Centre very seriously and our government can also talk to their governments directly. The size of the order will also be bigger then”. The Centre did not comment with a response.
