Modi government is anti-poor: CPI(M)

CPI (M) to launch campaign against the union government. The Left party says it needs to be exposed for being "anti-poor" and the party would do everything possible to make people aware about it.

New Delhi: Accusing the Narendra Modi government of being "anti-poor", the CPI (M) on Friday said it will launch several movements against it across the nation.

Talking to the ETV Bharat here, former MP and senior CPI (M) leader Hannan Mollah said the union government was not concerned for the poor people even as they are losing their jobs and businesses.

"The policies adopted by the government are totally anti-people. India is now facing the biggest unemployment problem in the past 45 years. More than 10 lakh people associated with the auto industry are likely to lose their jobs," he said.

He said the CPI (M) would go to the people and spread awareness on the issue.

"I believe people will understand the situation," he added.
