BHUBANESWAR:
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Friday staged demonstration in front
of the Railway Station here protesting the Union Budget which allegedly favours
corporate houses.
Party’s
State leaders like Suresh Panigrahy, trade unionist Naba Mohanty and tribal
leader Sal Marandi alleged that the budget is prepared to woo the corporate
houses sidelining the interest of common people of the country.
The
party said the BJP Government curtailed allocation for agriculture, rural
development and social sector which showed the anti-people attitude of the
Government. Even the Government did not show any interest to allocate for effective
implementation of MNREGA and Indira Awas Yojana (IAY) which provides employment
and house respectively for poor villagers, they added.
The
party also criticised the Government for reducing subsidy on petroleum products
which would indirectly impact on price rise. Centre’s positive attitude towards
FDI would bring disaster to the economy of the country in a long term, the left
leaders added.
