Shri Provash Ghosh, General Secretary, SUCI(C), has issued the following statement on 26 February 2021:
Alongside continuous raising of petrol-diesel-LPG-kerosene prices which is wreaking havoc in people’s life, the Railways have now announced hike in the fares of local passenger trains on the queer logic of preventing crowding in trains and stop Covid from spreading, Though the Railways authorities say that this fare increase is not applicable to suburban trains, one cannot preclude the possibility of same being done any day, anytime as the BJP government has a track-record of unabated pursuit of barefaced anti-people measures caring a fig for the rising woes and wretchedness of the toiling millions.
It is high time that people at large unitedly rise up against the killing policies of the BJP government and force it to reverse such repeated blows on their life and livelihood.
