Give money directly to people to revive economy: Abhijeet Banerjee to Rahul

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in his series of interaction with economic leaders have now spoken to Nobel laureate Abhijeet Banerjee who has suggested that people should be given money directly if the government wish to revive the economy fast. There should be Aadhaar-based PDS or a temporary ration card so that those who are stuck anywhere could get ration for their needs.

Speaking about the migrants in particular, Banerjee said: “One of the ideas that were mooted in the last years of the UPA but also embraced by the current government was the idea that the Aadhaar would be made national and therefore would be used for Public Distribution System and other things. Aadhaar-based claims on PDS would make one eligible wherever they are. That would have been wonderful to have right now.”
