“As the State is facing a second lockdown, although projected as partial, it has thrown light on the sheer apathy of the government towards the plight of the commoners and the working class who are again getting deprived of their livelihood,” Socialist Unity Centre of India (Communist) has said. In a statement issued here, SUCI(C) district secretary Ramanjanappa Aldalli has said that the State government is more concerned about the interests of the capitalists, while it has turned a blind eye towards commoners and the working class whose livelihood is being snatched away through the lockdown. Mr. Aldalli has said that the Union and State governments are solely responsible for the forced second lockdown as they had failed to take precautionary measures despite being warned about the second wave of the pandemic. “While the State government is engrossed in internal bickering and sleaze CD row, the Union government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is engrossed in snobbery of having won against the pandemic , elections and Kumbh Mela. Due to the negligence of both these governments, we find ourselves in the same pathetic situation as in the last year,” he said.
