Recent action against Naga insurgents did not yield any result, says CPI(M) leader
CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury on Thursday alleged that the surgical strikes initiated by the Modi government were aimed at diverting the attention of people from pressing issues.
Speaking at the Meet the Press programme organised by the Andhra Pradesh Union for Working Journalists, Mr. Yechury said: “Even after six months of the surgical strikes across the border, the attacks from the other side have increased. If several enemy camps along the Line of Control have been destroyed, how come there is an increase in infiltration?”
He also said that the recent strikes on Naga insurgents across the border did not yield any result.
‘Non-pragmatic plans’
The Left leader said Prime Minister Narendra Modi was coming out with non-pragmatic plans and cited the recently-launched rural electrification programme as an example. “The political climate in the country is changing and youth, who were staunchly behind Mr. Modi, are fast realising their mistakes.”
He said the economy had taken a severe beating and the government’s much-publicised initiatives on black money, counterfeit currency, terrorism and scam-free society did not yield any result.
He said the non-performing assets (NPA) of banks reached a whopping ₹10.5 lakh crore and close to ₹2 lakh crore in loans were waived. “While farmers are suffering for want of minimum support price, the government is only taking care of the interests of big industrial houses.”
He said that under the Modi regime, unemployment had reached a new high. “The countdown for the fall of the Modi government has begun,” he said.
