The Communist Party of India-Marxist politburo member Sitaram Yechury accused the Narendra Modi-led government of widening the gap between rich and poor, thereby creating ‘Two Indias’ and said that the slogans of the government were different from factual governance. Addressing a public meeting of CPM Telangana unit on Wednesday, he lashed out at the Modi government for burdening people with Rs 30,000 crore fresh taxes and making corporates happy by giving them Rs 8,000-crore worth concessions in the budget.
He termed the present government as an amalgamation of the governments headed by Indira Gandhi, Manmohan Singh and Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He said, “It is a combination of autocratic regime of Indira Gandhi, economically neo-liberal government of Man Mohan Singh and Atal Bihari Vajpayee regime under whose rule religious extremism spread its roots.” He accused the Modi government of carrying forward the anti-people policies of previous governments.
He said that the promise of ‘Ache Din’ was not for common people and the latter were now longing for the “good old days”. He lamented that for the first time in the country, the agriculture sector was in serious danger and farmers were being forced to sell their lands. Calling upon the people to struggle against the anti-people policies of the NDA government, Yechury said that a people’s movement alone would keep the government under check.
He took serious objection to the disinvestment proposal of the government and said that the Rs 70,000 crore disinvestment plan the government envisaged was aimed at dismantling welfare in education and health. He asked the left forces to come together to regain the past glory of CPM in AP and Telangana and to struggle for people’s cause.
Commenting on A P Reorganization Act 2014, he said that the Modi government had promised to correct the past government’s mistakes, but nothing has been done on those lines yet. CPM state secretary Tammineni Veerabhadram on this occasion asked the stand of Telangana government on its relationship with Centre. He said that Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao should clear his stand on this issue.
