THE 23rd Congress of CPI(M) protests the relentless increase in the prices of petrol and diesel by the oil companies in connivance with the Narendra Modi led BJP government. Escalation of petroleum prices is fuelling inflation and thus implies large-scale transfer of resources from the working people to the ruling classes and the Government of India. The union government’s tax collection from the oil sector increased from Rs 0.74 lakh crores in 2014-15, the first year of the BJP-led government to around Rs 3.5 lakh crores in 2021-22.
THE BJP government led by Modi has unveiled a four-year National (Asset) Monetisation Pipeline (NMP) aiming to garner Rs 6 lakh crore. The NMP is aimed at handing over huge functional infrastructural assets of the country to private corporate companies and big business houses, including foreign MNCs. The corporate cronies of the BJP government will be allowed to mint huge money utilising the assets built with people’s money and labour.
THE 23rd Congress condemns the attacks by the central government on federalism in multiple spheres – educational, political, fiscal, social, and cultural.
