NDA decisions are anti-poor: Tripura CM
NDA decisions are anti-poor: Tripura CM, The NDA government has proved itself as an anti-poor regime by its policy decisions so far, stated Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar.

Warangal: The NDA government has proved itself as an anti-poor regime by its policy decisions so far, stated Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar. The railway budget presented by the BJP government has amply established what kind of ruling the people in the nation were going to have. Railway fares have gone up like the prices of many other commodities and soon the price of sugar would go up, he said.
He stated that the BJP government was favouring big corporate houses at the cost of poor and downtrodden in the country.
Manik Sarkar was here to attend public meeting organized by the All India Agriculture Worker Union (AIAWU) held as part of its eighth national conference in Warangal on Tuesday. Addressing an impressive gathering that braved the rain to listen to him, Chief Minister of Tripura has called upon the agricultural labour and common people alike to brace up to launch a collective fight to protect their rights. ‘The government is pro-rich and the poor need to fight to survive’ he said. He appealed to 20-crore unemployed youth in the country to question Narendra Modi about his election promises.
“BJP leaders claimed their government would be a different one from the earlier regimes but it was not so. Though it would be too early to evaluate a government but the policies being pursued by the Modi government at Centre were clearly anti-people,” he added.
Besides allowing rise in petrol and diesel price and hike in railway fare, the Modi government was making efforts to weaken the MGNREGA. It was aimed at ensuring availability of cheap labour to the feudal landlords in villages and capitalists in town, Manik Sarkar explained.
The Central government has been working at the behest of RSS and there were at least a dozen communal clashes across the country in the last two months. The BJP was responsible for it, he alleged. The BJP regime failed on foreign policy front too as it had failed to condemn Israel’s attack on Palestine, the Chief Minister of Tripura pointed out.
The CPM state secretary T Veerabhadram, addressing the gathering, announced that a joint meeting of Left parties would be held in Hyderabad on August 7 to discuss the policies of state and central governments.
