If proof were needed here it is. The BJP manifesto released today makes it amply clear that “if this communal organization came in to power, India’s secular fabric will definitely be destroyed” said CPI(M) Polit Bureau Member, Brinda Karat.
Construction of Ram temple, uniform civil code and abrogation of Article 370 – all are on top of the Modi-RSS agenda. The manifesto contains these promises and is a grave threat to the secularism, Brinda said at a meet the press program organized by the Kasargode Press Club today.
The promise of introduction of FDI in the agricultural sector, if the BJP came to power, would see the ruin of the sector, she warned. This move will endanger the life of farmers. Crores of farmers will be ridden with debt and consequent starvation. The FDI in agriculture sector will prove much more disastrous than FDI in retail.
Predicting the rout of the Congress in Lok Sabha election, Brinda said that is in the erstwhile strongholds of the Congress that the BJP is growing stronger. But the BJP cannot emerge as an alternative she said.
