DEFEAT THE ANTI-PEOPLE BJP GOVERNMENT!! .

.

In another two days the polling for the next Lok Sabha e.lections will begin. The ru.ling NDA government.over a considerable period of time Friends, has started with their India Shining campaign trying to project their rule as the best that lndta has ever had. Nothtng can be further fromthe truth.ln )4 .

fact the NDA rule has been the worst for the majority of Indians. .

The last five years has witnessed innumerable atrocities against the minority communities. The very first year of the NDA rule witnessed the .

attack on the Christian community and burningof missionary Graham Staines and his two sons. At that time the PM of India insteadof punishing the .

)f .

memory of the attacks on the Christians was still afresh, the communal pogrom in Gujarat was orchestrated by the RSS-BJP-VHP with full .

It is shameful that the :a INow even after two years have passed, the victims of the Gujarat riots still await justice, while the state machinery does everything to deny that to I"connivance of the Narendra Modi government in Gujarat and supported by acriminal silence on the part of the Vajpayee government in theCentre. .

government boasts of India to be Shining while the victims of the worst carnage ofindependent India are being denied justice. The NDArule has also .

witnessed increased atrocities against the socially deprived people of our country. The killing of five Dalits in Jhanhar by the VHP is a pointerto this In order to gamer support for its communal agenda of transforming India into a Hindu rashtra, the Sangh Parivar has to mould young minds .

to their communal agenda. That is why the most significant agenda of the RSS-BJP in the last five years has been to destroy the scientific and .

rational education system and replace it with obscurantist courses like 'jyotishsastra' 'karamkand' etc. With this perspective in mind, history .

textbooks were rewritten in order to give legitimacy to the ideology of Hindutva and banning anything, which tried to expose the fundamentalist lRV' .

agenda of the RSS. On the one hand the BJP has tried its level best to communalise our education system by changing the courses and infiltrating .

RSS persons in institutions of higher learning, on the other hand the government has also ensured that education remains out of the reach of poor .

and down trodden of the society by increasing fees manifold in most universities and having massive fund-cuts for higher education. The latest in the .

~ovemment's attack on higher education 1s the proposed Model Act,which proposes to do away with any funding and propagate Commercialculture .

.

govemmenl This is t1e government, which has most shamelessly surrendered the interests of the people of the country to the imperialist interests of.

Instead. .

The fund-cut in the higher education sector is not an isolated event. This fund-cut is a part of the larger economic policies of the NDA .

th~ IMF-vyB. In fact the government dtd not take any strong position against the US war on Iraq and was almost ready to send troops there-the ploy .

bel.ngres1sted by the popular mobilization against it. This subservience of imperialist interests is not unexpected from a government whose leaderMr. .

un1ts of our cou~try by selling them off for a song to pnvate interests. While the promise of Vajpayee government was to give one crore jobs ayear, nVaJpayee betrayed the anti-imperialist freedom struggle of our country. Going by the logic of IMF-WB the NDA rule has destroyed the public sector .
