Modi govt's policies widening gap between 'two Indias': CPI(M)

Training guns at the NDA dispensation, CPI(M) has charged the Narendra Modi-led government with pursuing neo-liberal economic policies which have resulted in widening gap between "two Indias".
The party said that the government's tenure has unfolded "trimoorti" agenda, which includes patronizing outfits espousing Hindutva cause and "authoritarian" style of its functioning, besides the aggressive pursuit of neo-liberal economic reforms.
"This government is relentlessly pursuing the advance of neo-liberal economic reforms, more aggressively than the previous UPA government. This is only sharply escalating the gap between two Indias and imposing unprecedented burdens on the vast majority of our people," party leader Sitaram Yechury wrote in an editorial in CPI(M) organ, 'People's Democracy'.

The leader observed that the "aggressive" pursuit of Hindutva agenda and "unleashed" vicious campaign of communal polarization has resulted in a greater degree of insecurity and uncertainty amongst religious minorities.
On the re-promulgation of Land Acquisition Ordinance, Yechury asked if the government's act fitted the requirement of "emergency" situation as suggested for issuing Ordinance.
Referring to the prorogation of Parliament due to opposition by majority in Rajya Sabha, he accused the Modi government of "dangerously tweaking the Constitution and parliamentary procedures" and moving towards an authoritarian rule, and said it is one of the "rarest of rare cases".
Yechury also criticised the government for legislating a Judicial Appointments Bill, which he doubted, perhaps is to take care of judicial appointments and not to correct the imbalances.
