While addressing the demonstration Yechury pointed out that the economic slowdown in the country is a direct result of the “negative policies of the government”.
He also added that this includes demonetisation and faulty implementation of GST, which have adversely affected the economy.
“India’s economy was already reeling under increasing unemployment, price rise, retrenchment and livelihood issues. The Modi government has been ignoring the high rate of unemployment, contract system, low wages and agrarian crisis. This has put huge burdens on the vast working sections of the country”, added Sitaram Yechury while delivering his speech at the protest!
