Imphal, February 17 2024: Stating that the Modi Government not making any genuine effort to end the violence in Manipur is the biggest injus-tice in the country, All India Congress Committee (AICC) secretary Ranajit Mukherjee has stated that the 'Anyay Kaal' of BJP Government will end very soon and the countdown has begun.

Speaking to the media at Congress Bhavan here today, Ranajit, who is the AICC in-charge of Sikkim and Nagaland, continued that Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi has been maintaining studied silence on Manipur violence and let the State burn since the last nine months.

Tens of thousands of people are still taking refuge at relief camps with over 17,000 houses torched in the course of the violence, Ranajit maintained and added that there is no solution in sight as of yet.

He further said that the developmental pace of the country has suffered a major blow in the last 10 years due to misgovernance by the BJP Government.

Stating that the BJP has turned India into a restless country by meting out injustice to the citizens , the AICC secretary maintained that the saffron party has also brought shame to the economy and socio-political system of the country.

The unemployment rate has risen under the BJP Government, he said and added that the Modi Government has also not taken up any wellfare scheme for the minority, apart from weakening the agricultural sector.

There are 30 lakhs vacant posts at different Government departments and cor- porations but the Government still can't fill them, he said and added that the figure of unemployed youth has risen from 1 crore in 2012 to 4 crores in 2022 .

Cases of suicide among unemployed graduates and post graduates have also increased, Ranajit stated.

Maintaining that the price of all essentials have increased by 50 per cent on average under the reign of BJP Government, the AICC leader said that the BJP Government has failed to deliver its promise of doubling farmers' income by 2022 .

About 700 farmers have committed suicide after the formation of BJP Government in 2014, Ranajit stated and claimed that the Modi Government is interested only in big corporates and industrialists.

The nexus between BJP and Adani Group of Companies is detrimental to those who run small and medium industries, the Congress leader said.

The debt of the Central Government has increased from Rs 55 lakh crore in 2014 to Rs 185 lakh crore currently, he pointed out.

Claiming the cases of crime against women have increased manifold under the Modi Government with the figure standing at 31,515 till 2022, Ranajit maintained that the rate of conviction was only 27 per cent.

He also accused the BJP of engaging in communal politics and of being biased on caste and religion lines.

BJP has been undermining democracy with its greed to stay in power using money and muscle power, he said and added that the saffron party has failed to maintain communal harmony and give economic justice to the people.

Continuing that Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised to bring the black money of Congress leaders and deposit Rs 15 lakh each in the bank account of every Indian at the time of Parliamentary elections, Ranajit claimed that BJP came to power in 2014 by selling lies to the people.
