Agartala: Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar lashed out at Manmohan Singh led UPA government at the centre accusing that the country has dip into a serious crisis only because of US fanaticism of the Congress led govt.
Addressing a party rally on the eve of 13th state conference of left trade union CITU in Dharmanagar on Sunday, Sarkar observed that Manmohan Singh govt has become dependent on US, which resulted devolution of Indian currency and jobless situation in the country. “UPA II has persuaded a wrong economic policy under the guidance of American administration without considering the future of poor Indians and as a result, the country is now facing an uncertain future with high inflation and continuous dwindling value of India rupee,” Sarkar stated.
He however, commented that ‘administration and corruption’ has become synonymous for second UPA government. He also alleged that the govt was undermining the interest of the majority of the people and abetting the richer class and as a result, the future development of the country in true sense was at stake.
“The UPA government is neck-deep in all kinds of corruption and its policies and programme are designed to benefit the minuscule minority of rich people and corporate houses,” Sarkar alleged.
He claimed when the Indo-US nuclear deal was being signed leftist had warned the country that it was not merely a business deal of nuclear exchanges but a strategic deal to subordinate India to US interests. But ultimately Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has succumbed to the pressure of US and the decisions of union cabinet in past days established it. Allowing 51% FDI in multi-brand retail sector, 49 % FDI in civil aviation and price hike of diesel and especially, allocation of six cylinders in a year to each family had cleared anti-people stand of UPA government, Sarkar added.
He pointed out that the leftists of the country had been fighting against the price rise since long but Centre did not take any action rather de-regulated the petrol market, which had given right to the petroleum companies to fix the retail market of petrol and the price had increased by Rs 18.80 in 10 subsequent revisions in past one year.
