"The government should say how much of the Rs 20 lakh crore 'mahapackage' is for the poor, how much is for the farmers, daily-wage labourers, small traders and vendors, he said in a tweet in Hindi.

सरकार बस इतना बता दे कि 20 लाख करोड़ के तथाकथित ‘महापैकेज’ में कितना ग़रीब के लिए है कितना किसान, दिहाड़ी-प्रवासी मज़दूर, छोटे व्यापारी, खुदरा कारोबारी, रेड़ी-ठेले-पटरीवाले व अन्य मजबूरों के लिए है.

समाज को बाँटने मे माहिर लोग कृपया करके इस आर्थिक बँटवारे का हिसाब भी दे दें. pic.twitter.com/UTsHFcetFf
