CPI(M) organises agitations across Tamil Nadu against BJP government’s failures
CPI(M) State secretary K. Balakrishnan said on Thursday that the flawed economic policies of the BJP government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had resulted in a loss of employment where crores of youth had lost their jobs.
Talking to reporters after the rail roko protest, which was organised by his party against the BJP government’s failure to control the hike in the price of essential commodities and unemployment, he said the price hike had severely affected the middle class and the poor.
“The Prime Minister promised jobs for two crore youth. But over a crore youth had lost their employment because of the flawed economic policies of the BJP government,” he said, pointing out that a lot of partymen had participated in the State-wide protest.
The protest was preceded by a week-long campaign from September 1 to 6.
Mr. Balakrishnan said that the BJP had proposed the idea of ‘One Nation, One Election’ to divert the attention of the people from the financial irregularities highlighted in the CAG report. “The BJP and its leaders are creating tension across the country. They propose to change the name of the country to Bharat. They cannot forever cheat the people of the country through their agendas,” he said.
In Chennai, the protest was held in South Chennai, North Chennai, and Central Chennai. In North Chennai, CPI(M) Polit Bureau member G. Ramakrishnan participated.
“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
