Mumbai, May 28 (). As Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government completes nine years this week, there is nervousness over the ruling party’s retention and renewed hope among opposition parties for his removal. While the public is still dreaming of the good (old) days.
Maharashtra’s opposition parties Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), Nationalist Congress Party and Samajwadi Party and others fumed over the poor track record of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA regime.
Leading the MVA charge, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP, Priyanka Chaturvedi, Congress general secretary Sachin Sawant and NCP national spokesperson Clyde Crasto attacked the BJP on several burning issues, especially topical issues like the inauguration of the new parliament.
Chaturvedi said PM Modi’s tenure will be marked as a period of churning, the way democracy has been eroded and constitutionally elected state governments are being brutally toppled and oligarchies are being promoted .
Chaturvedi said, from President’s humiliation to the Vice-President bowing before the Emperor, governors being political representatives/agents and blatant misuse of office to satisfy their hunger for power, this government has broken all norms of political decency.
Sawant said the Indian economy is faltering under Modi’s leadership and for the first time in decades, crores of people have been pushed below the poverty line (BPL) while the rich are getting richer.
Sawant said, BJP talks big about $5 trillion economy, but currently inflation has touched unprecedented levels, unemployment has broken all records, all sections of people are suffering, especially Poor and middle class, but the government is busy in event management.
Cresto lamented the way democracy is being strangled and systematically destroyed under the BJP rule.
See how many legally elected state governments were broken and toppled using money power, said Cresto. All forms of opposition, political, ideological or intellectual, are being silenced and treated as enemies and traitors, while the independence of all constitutional institutions is being dismantled.
Chaturvedi said, given the all-round failures like demonetisation (2016) and failure of Rs 2000 note use, curbing corruption, inability to control China at the borders, erosion of credibility and accountability of all, the government needs to go beyond image building. is required.
Sawant said perhaps the only success of the Modi regime is spreading communal poison to win elections, religious atrocities to polarize voters and harm socio-religious harmony and peace.
Sawant warned that the legitimacy given to the Modi government’s unethical and undemocratic means of grabbing power has completely rattled the socio-political environment, democracy is facing an existential threat and is gasping in the ICU. Countrymen, the time has come to wake up.
Criticizing the poor implementation of the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown that ruined lakhs of people, especially the middle class and lower strata of the society, Cresto said the BJP’s inability to reduce the prices of gas, petrol and diesel has contributed to the situation. And it got worse.
