Sitaram Yechury made a historic mistake: Akbar

Ranchi: "Sitaram Yechury made a historic mistake in tying up with the Congress in West Bengal,'' BJP MP MJ Akbar said here on Friday.
Describing the debut of the BJP in Assam as a massive endorsement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, Akbar said that the CPM under Yechury has repeated the same blunder the Communist Party of India made in 1969. Founder of CPI, Shripad Amrit Dange had to face a lot of flak at that time for supporting the Congress.
"At least at that time the Congress had a leader like Indira Gandhi. But Yechury committed a crime by forging a jote (alliance) with the Congress under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi which is why the CPM was routed in West Bengal,'' said Akbar.
Akbar who was here in connection with the Modi government completing two years at the Centre said that the Prime Minister has brought about an economic revolution in the country, breaking away from the tradition of conventional economy.
"Though poverty alleviation is a constitutional requirement, Modi in his first speech in Parliament had said that the age of poverty alleviation was over and it was now an era of poverty elimination,'' he said. Modi's agenda is to raise the economy of the poor, said Akbar claiming that the Jan dhan Yojna has come as a major setback to the chit funds across the nation.
He was also all praise for chief minister Raghubar Das for the victory of BJP in Godda by-election in Jharkhand, the result of which were declared on Thursday. "The result was proof of the good work that the chief minister has started in the state."
It is certainly due to the dynamic leadership of the Prime Minister who has shown us the way to development, but it is the chief minister who is getting them executed, he said.
