The Elections to Lok Sabha are going to be held
in a month. The political atmosphere has already
been surcharged with no holds bar campaign and
permutations of alliances. The ruling classes are
leaving no stone unturned to side line the basic
problems faced by the people and to divert their
attention to secondary issues and promises of
palliative measures.
These elections are going to be conducted after
the BJP is in power for a full term. The demonetisation
followed by imposition of GST had devastated the
peasant economy and manufacturing sector.
Consequently the agrarian crisis has deepened
further. The economy failed to create enough
employment opportunities. The much hyped “Make
in India” scheme, claimed to be rejuvenating the
programme for manufacturing, had not taken off.
The landless peasants who toil as tenant farmers
and agricultural labour are facing bankruptcy. The
living and working conditions of workers had
deteriorated. With fixed term contract they lost their
job security and are being thrown into unorganised
sector. Their real wages are falling continuously. As
the inflation and price rise continue unabated, the
middle classes are increasingly finding it difficult to
make both ends meet. The privatisation of education
and health services has been breaking the backs
of people. There is no hope for the people as the
demon of unemployment is haunting them. Adivasi
people are being thrown out of their habitat and their
livelihoods are being destroyed in the name of
development. Dalits and women are facing
discrimination and oppression which intensified with
the growing economic, political and social crisis. The
dawn of “Achhe din” turned to be a mirage.
On the other side, the BJP government continued
the siphoning of budgetary resources to fatten the
big bourgeoisie through various tax concessions and
write offs. It has opened up the remaining sectors of
economy including defence to the entry of foreign
capital. The running of the government, including
the policy making, is placed under the surveillance
of imperialist financial institutions. Thus the financial
and natural resources of the country are being
drained by the imperialist countries with full force.
As the lives of people are mired in poverty and
misery, discontent and unrest has grown among the
people. They are coming on to the streets protesting
the anti-people policies of the government. The
ruling classes are resorting to fascist methods of
repression and oppression.
