'

Chidambaram further wrote that the poor have lost their jobs or self-employment in the last 18 days. Some of his savings have now been exhausted. Many people have lined up to eat. ' Chidambaram asked if states could starve the poor in a similar way. The former Union Minister said that the Chief Ministers should demand that the cash be immediately transferred to the account of every poor family. Reminding the poor should be their unanimous demand.
