The Left parties on Saturday hit out at the government over its latest economic package, accusing it of using the COVID-19 pandemic to impose the agenda of the rich and trying to privatise the country’s public assets.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday announced various economic stimulus for eight sectors of coal, minerals, defence production, air space management, airports, MRO, distribution companies in UTs, space sector and atomic energy.
Using this Pandemic lockdown to unilaterally impose the agenda of the rich, Foreign & Domestic Capital for more super-profits is inhuman. Looting national assets destroys Self Reliance, said CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury in a tweet.
The central govt must clearly state how it has used the lockdown (which at least cost India 140 million jobs and so many lives) to bolster public health. The Centre had projected zero deaths for today!, he added in his tweet.
He also said more than 30 migrants were killed on roads on Saturday due to the gross mismanagement by Modi government.
Its ministers didn’t have the basic decency and humanity to remember those unfortunate ones while going on to dish out their daily litany of old jumlas, he said.
