Congress: Centre, Chhattisgarh govt failed to contain Maoist violence
› Security personnel have become fodder to infirm policies of the two governments...
ABHISHEK MANU SINGHVI , Congress leader
NEW DELHI: The Congress Sunday charged the Narendra Modi government at the Centre and the Raman Singh government in Chhattisgarh for failing to contain Maoist violence, saying the chief minister has forfeited his right to continue in power.
Terming demonetisation as a “brain child” of Narendra Modi, Singhvi said the PM had claimed that the note ban exercise has effectively neutralised naxal and terror threats. He said the figures available suggest otherwise as more security personnel and civilians were killed in naxal violence after note ban.
Raman Singh, he said, too had echoed similar sentiments. “But facts state otherwise,” he said.
Singhvi claimed that the situation in J&K had worsened and demonetisation did not help in any way to contain terror. “Security personnel have become fodder to infirm policies of the two governments ... The coward Raman Singh government has forfeited its right to be in power in the state...People will also reject the Modi dispensation in the next elections.”
BJP spokesperson Anil Baluni said: “People who openly support Maoist, Tukde Tukde gang, their president shares platform with such people. It is an irony that they are pointing fingers at us. ”
