Communist Party of India (Marxist- leninist) secretary general Deepankar Bhattacharya said on Saturdayt that althought the Narendra Modi government passed the No-Confidence motion, it had failed in answering questions pertaining to public and national issues. He was addressing media persons at Press Club in lucknow on Saturday.
Bhattacharya said that the Modi government failed in winning people’s trust on the allegation of corruption in Rafale deal.
“At a time when the Opposition brought the No Confidence motion, farmers across the country were protesting on Minimum Support Price (MSP) and other issues. Power staff of New Delhi government were also on strike,” he pointed out and said that these protests showed that the Modi government has failed to win public trust.
TheCPI (Ml) leader that farmers, labourers, students, unemployed et al have mobilized against the Modi government as it had failed on all fronts, be it proving employment, bringing black money stashed in foreign banks and curbing inflation.
Bhattacharya said that the Modi government has become a symbol of mobocracy (mob violence and lynching) and even the Apex court asked the Union government to bring a new law to stop such incidents.
“Surprisingly, the day the Apex court warned the Centre, a mob propagating Hindutva ideology attacked social worker Swami Agnivesh in Pakur district of Jharkhand and the government chose to ignore it rather than reacting,” he claimed.
“The BJP government is patronis0ing and honouring those involved in violence, instead of curbing violence and such an act only will encourage people to take to violence,” he said.
The CPI (Ml) leader added that the Modi government had turned Indian democracy into mobocracy and recent incidents at Hapur and Pakur were brazen indicators.
Bhattacharya also hit out at the Yogi government in UP saying that the drubbing of BJP in Kairana, Phoolpur and Gorakhpur bypolls have certified that Yogi has lost popularity among the public.
“Yogi-government was motivating encounters in the name of establishing law of the land. On the other hand, incidents of rape/ murder have suddenly witnessed a spurt. While chosingto ignore heinous crimes, the governemnt withdraw rape charges against Swami Chinmayanand which was undemocratic,” he said.
The leader said that CPI (Ml) was carrying out a ‘BJP hatao, desh bacaho’ movement across the country and it would launch a ‘Jail Bharo’ stir to highlight the plight of farmers and labourers on August 9.
“On August 27, the party will organize a ‘BJP bhagao, desh bachao’ rally in Patna. Also a ‘loktantra bacaho, Bhagat Singh aur Ambedkar ke sapno ka Bharat banao’ rally will be launched in Patna soon,” he informed.
