The demonetisation decision of Narendra Modi has caused immense hardships to the people and though his BJP has fared better in bypolls and municipal polls in Gujarat, the forthcoming UP elections are going to be crucial for the saffron party.
According to Communist Party of India (Marxist) general secretary Sitaram Yechury, the Modi government might be advocating the abolition of triple talaq among Muslims, but the people of the country would invoke the same triple talaq to oust the BJP.
“The reverse at the Delhi Assembly election was the first talaq and the Bihar debacle was the second. The upcoming UP polls will present him with the third and final talaq,” Yechury said.
Yechury took part in Mahajana Padyatra in Medak district and addressed the public. Alleging that demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes was a “thoughtless” action by the NDA government, he said it will take 175 days for the situation to come to normalcy as the currency crisis was created by Modi government by scrapping high denomination notes.
He told that his party has begun padyatra in Telangana for social justice, and claimed that social justice is impossible without including scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and minorities who account for 93 percent of the total population.
