Wealth of the rich increased by 35% during Corona's tenure: Oxfam report shocking information

- The poor-workers objected to eating a tank

New Delhi, Monday, January 25, 2021

The Corona era, which began in March-April 2020, saw a 35 per cent increase in the wealth of the country's billionaires, while the poor and workers were left with no choice but to eat one tank of food.

Oxfam's Inequality Virus report claims that the wealth of India's 100 billionaires increased by Rs 12,97,822 crore in the post-March 2020 period. If this amount is distributed among the 13.8 crore poor of the country, then each poor person can get Rs 94,045. The billionaire's fortune increased by 35 percent.

The report claimed that it would take ten thousand years for Mukesh Ambani to earn as much as he used to earn per hour during the Koro era.

According to the report, the Corona epidemic was the biggest health crisis in the last 100 years and the first major economic crisis since the 1929-30 recession. Oxfam chief executive Amitabh Behr said the report made it clear that the richest people gained more wealth during the biggest health and economic crisis due to the unfair economic system while millions of people starved for a tank of food.

Thousands were starving while the rich were comfortably amassing more wealth.
