CPI-ML (Liberation) National Secretary General Dipankar Bhattarcharya said on Sunday that the huge support won by the grand alliance comprising the RJD, Congress and the three left-wing parties has laid the groundwork for the upcoming elections in West Bengal, Assam and other states where the ballot box would be fought over people’s agenda such as unemployment, migration, the agrarian crisis and opposition to labor law reforms.
Bhattacharya, while addressing a press conference on Sunday, said that the AG would continue to raise people’s issues within the state assembly and outside to register their opposition to the NDA government led by BJP-JD (U) and emphasized that incorrect propaganda was being spread. by the BJP that there was resentment against Prime Minister Nitish Kumar, who was facing an anti-incumbent.
“The BJP has had the same power in the government of the NDA for more than a decade and the people have also put the BJP in the dock. If the employment issue was an electoral agenda, the privatization of the railways was also an electoral issue, ”he said.
To back up his point, Bhattarcharya said the 2020 survey results should not be compared to 2015 and instead compared to 2010 results when the NDA had obtained a large majority in Bihar despite the UPA being in power in the center and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Interior Minister Amit Shah were not present in national politics.
