New Delhi, July 27 (ANI): Communist Party of India (CPI) leader D. Raja said Saturday he is extremely concerned and distressed over the prevailing political climate in the country, especially with the two main political parties, the BJP and the Congress, trying to polarize people with their brand of vote bank politics.
"It is distressing to see that the major two parties are trying to polarize the entire situation, communalize the situation and divide the people on communal lines. In a way it helps both because the BJP-led NDA has nothing to offer to the people. They have no new policy initiative, they have no alternative to what is being pursued by the Congress-led UPA 2. So they are reviving their Hindutva politics and Hindutva ideology. For Congress party, it helps them because the Congress party can gloss over all the failures of the government-particularly, failures on the economic front, failures to control the prices, to curb the inflation and failures to generate employment" Raja said here.
He also said that the high rates of unemployment of the country have made the future of the country, the Indian youth, extremely bleak.
" Now, the Congress doesn't want to take any responsibility. It wants to cover up and gloss over these failures in the name of the struggle between secularism versus communalism. This is how both these parties play out of each others' hands", Raja added.
Raja expressed that he felt that neither the BJP nor the Congress want to discuss any serious issue in the lead up to the 2014 Lok Sabha elections and are thereby sideline the real issues at hand.
"They want to subvert the entire electoral system (by) not discussing any serious political economic issue but (instead) making it as though it is a duel between these two parties and the issue is communalism versus secularism" Raja said. (ANI)
