Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Economic Survey by the Modi Government on January 29. The survey talked about V-shaped development and stated that the country's growth rate will be 11% in 2021. However, there was no mention of the crisis faced by the migrant workers during the lockdown, or of the economic crisis among members of the working class. NewsClick spoke to journalist Paranjoy Guha Thakurta on the issue; he elaborates on what important aspects the government ignored in this survey.
