KATHUA, Nov 11: Former minister Dr Manohar Lal Sharma today strongly criticized BJP Government at the Centre for its failure in controlling price rise, inflation, unemployment and corruption in the country.
While addressing public meeting at Billawar today Manohar Lal said that the prices of food articles have exorbitantly increased. Primary commodities also saw massive rise in its prices and manufactured products have risen by 9-10 %. By the time these commodities reach the retail markets the consumers are charged much more.
Sharma further said that all this is happening when the economy is witnessing a deep recession, galloping unemployment, collapsing purchasing power of general public and rising levels of hunger. He said due to wrong policies of the Centre, inflation has become uncontrollable in the country and the prices of all essential commodities, including petrol, diesel and cooking gas, cooking oil, pulses have been increasing at an unprecedented rate.
He said Modi Government has failed to provide jobs to youth, but had instead released misleading advertisements on the same. BJP has cheated people of every section. While lambasting BJP and its leadership, Manohar said everything looks good in advertisements, but the reality is not like this. And if anybody raises question, he is not allowed to speak.
Referring to increasing level of corruption, Sharma said that corruption free India under BJP is just a `sham’, in fact, corruption has increased in BJP regime. India has the highest bribery rate in Asia according to the Global Corruption Barometer published by Transparency International released on the eve of International Anti-Corruption Day. The findings are a scathing indictment of the anti-corruption claims of the ruling dispensation, which came to power on the plank of a ‘Bhrashtachar Mukt Bharat’ (corruption-free India).
