India's education policy needs a change : CPM- 10-Feb-2010
Agartala: Citing India's poor statistics in terms of education, the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) has demanded a change in the country's policy to ensure education for all.
"Fifty per cent students do not get sufficient food, 77 per cent people have a daily income less than Rs.20. India tops in the list of death due to malnutrition, 78 per cent pregnant women suffer from anaemia," the CPI-M leader pointed out. He said that Centre's wrong policy helped to produce highest number of billionaires in India among the Asian countries. "One of them (billionaires) has built a palace like house spending Rs.4,000 crore."
Coming down heavily on the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, the CPI-M leader said: "Congress led by Rajiv Gandhi had formed government at the Centre by securing 405 seats in the Lok Sabha in 1984 and in the next general elections (in 1989) Congress lost the polls. Congress should not be complacent about their popularity."
"As the left parties have been opposing the policies of Congress and their allies, the Trinamool Congress, Maoist and other reactionary forces following the direction of US imperialist forces have formed alliance to oust the Left Front government in West Bengal." He said that after the last Lok Sabha elections more than 168 left party leaders and activists were killed in Maoist and anti-left forces' attacks in West Bengal alone
