Dislodge BJP from power: Dipankar

PATNA: CPI (ML) general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya on Monday said his party’s “vigorous campaign” against the BJP in the state would start later this month and culminate in a state level rally here on September 27.
Bhattacharya appealed to the people to dislodge the BJP from power in the parliamentary elections next year. “The Centre under PM Narendra Modi has disrupted the country’s economy, resulting in loss of jobs and strain on the budgets of families from all sections of society.As I have reckoned, there is general discontent everywhere. Be it the farmers or youths and other social groups, all think one does not know what shape the country’s economy would take under PM Modi if he returned to power,” Bhattacharya said.
Bhattacharya, who was accompanied by the party’s senior functionaries Kunal, Rajaram Singh, Dhirendra Kumar Jha and Meena Tiwari, said atrocities on women, minorities, dalits and girl students had increased in the state. “The Scheduled Caste (Prevention of Atrocities) Act should be put in the ninth schedule of the Constitution to prevent its dilution,” he said.
He accused the BJP of vitiating the social atmosphere by polarising along religious lines.
