Protest demonstrations against demonetisation on its second anniversary in the capital ! Congress tries to derive maximum advantage out of every issue going against BJP
Hundreds of Congressmen under the banner of the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee led by its president Ajay Maken today held a candle march at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi and also marched thereafter from there to Reserve Bank of India headquarter in the form of a protest demonstration raising anti government slogans condemning the demonetisation decision of the BJP led NDA government as reckless, arbitrary and anti people which led to the loss of jobs of lakhs of countrymen working in private sector, death of more than hundred persons and endless inconvenience to the people of the country. The arbitrary decision was imposed on the people of the country two years ago on 8th November 2016. The Congress party workers and leades were commemorating 9th November as the black day.
The protest demonstrators were carrying Congress flags and playcards in their hands and raising anti govt and anti BJP slogans.
Yesterday the left parties had protested in Delhi by holding an impressive demonstration participated by the former RS MP and CPM polit bureau member Brinda Karat, Secretary of the national council of Communist Party of India Atul Anjan and Delhi state secretary Professor Dinesh Varshney.
8th November is being named as the Black Day in the Indian political history by the entire non BJP opposition parties of the country and protest demonstrations and symbolic anti demonetisation protests are being organised in various states of the country.
In Uttarakhand too a protest march was held under the leadership of the Uttatakhand Pradesh Congress Committee. In view of the state elections taking place in 5 states of the country and the general elections due for 2019, just eight months ahead, the major opposition party Congress and its ideological affiliates of the future Grand Alliance are losing no opportunities to take political advantage out of issues like Rafale, demonetisation and inflation including the agrarian crisis, banking frauds n sky rocketting petro prices.
The Congress party and the rest of the anti BJP opposition parties have organised good number of protest demonstrations, sit ins and debates all over the country highlighting them in the national and regional media to a great extent.
The recent CBI crisis was also exploited to the full by the Congress party in league with the grand allaince partners. The recent killing spree in Dantewada, Chattisgarh by the naxalites ruled by the BJP chief minister Raman Singh for the last 15 years has also come in under severe criticism nationally, resulting in the BJP led NDA governments at the centre and the states coming into a defensive posture.
