    As long as Hum Do Hamare Do poor guys exist all others will go down all small and medium retailers will be killed with lockdown measures and their space will be awarded to them by their Pradhan Sevak. People can stop this by boycotting their products and services and teach a lesson to Gujju Boys.

    Rightly said, Ambani and Adani have a good Marketing / Finance managers.... Every PSU is bleeding due to lack of support from Government who is systematically trying to destroy the PSUs which have been backbone of the economy..... See the Net Profit of some of the PSUs in 2014 and 2020 (before Covid) - SBI up from 10891 Cr. to 14488 Cr.; BHEL down from 3460 Cr. to -1473 Cr; SAIL down from 2616 Cr. to 2021 Cr.; ONGC down from 22094 Cr. to 13444 Cr.; BPCL down from 4060 Cr. to 2683 Cr.; Coal India down from 15008 Cr. to 11280 Cr.; NTPC down from 10974 Cr. to 10112 Cr. .... and BSNL / MTNL gone down the doldrums..... Mehul Choksi, Nirav Modi going scot free.... And now the Finance Minister in the last budget wanted to privatise 2 Nationalised Banks and LIC too..... (It is time to re-phrase the nursery rhyme Ba Ba Black Sheep..... Do you have any Banks..... Yes Sir, Yes Sir, 3 Banks full..... One for my Ambani, One for my Adani..... And one more LIC, let it go down the drains....) No wonder, if Ambani and Adani prosper under Feku & Co.
