JAMMU, JuIy 1: “Modi experiment with the wretched of the earth has exposed his Government about its sincerity to the cause of the people which was echoed to the heights by Modi during election campaign,” said Prof Bhim Singh while addressing Panthers Party activists through video conference.
He accused Modi Government of the arbitrary rise in prices of petrol, diesel and even onion and potato which are most important essential commodities to keep the poor people alive. He demanded to hand over the public distribution system, at least, in respect of distribution of fuel, gas and other essential commodities.
He alleged that there is no difference between the ousted UPA Government and the present popular Modi Government. If one is parchoon trader another is thok (wholesale) seller. Those who have voted Modi to power should be contended by Modi’s slogan that good days are coming (Achche Din Aane Wale Hain).
Prof Bhim Singh said that the rise in global prices in petroleum can be contained by reducing the excise duty on the export of oil. Why, he inquired, Government is interested to protect the interest of private companies when they have been entrusted this work on the basis of tenders? He demanded that distribution of oil, gas and other essential commodities should be handed over to public sector who shall be accountable to the public.
Prof Bhim Singh called on youth, students, working class, farmers and women to raise the banner of protest against the Modi Government to save the wretched of the earth from complete liquidation and destruction. He said that Modi’s Achche Din have come and now the people of India should also get Achche Din.
