For
a change, I would like to do some back of the envelope, reverse
accounting, keeping in mind the estimated loss of 15,000 to 20,000
crore, if the two-day strike really happens. (i) The loss to the
employees joining government and public sector services pursuant to
introduction of New Pension System (ii) The recurring loss to the
workforce in India due to faulty working out of and non-implementation
of minimum wages (iii) The loss to the Indian consumer due to irrational
and one-sided pricing policies (iv) The loss suffered by Indian
citizens availing transport services from airlines, Railways and other
public transport systems (Railways, sometimes, do not even care to
identify the individuals who die while traveling, story of delayed and
denied compensations too is agonizing). Just to remind that GDP is an
aggregation of efforts made by millions of people and occasionally,
those in charge should remember the roots.
