Professor H.M. Desarda: People And Political Parties to Come Together Against Polarising BJP

Professor H.M. Desarda, a famous economist, political parties and people’s movements opposed to the Bhartiya Janata Party’s polarising policy should band together to bring in a secular, egalitarian, and democratic India, as stipulated in our Constitution.

The other day, Professor H.M. Desarda blasted the anti-nature and anti-people policies of successive administrations at the Center and in several States while delivering a public speech on “The Challenges of Equitable and Sustainable development in India” at the Mahatma Gandhi University (MGU) in this city. India’s main issues include economic inequality, social and religious strife, and environmental destruction.

Drawing attention to climate crisis, the economist lamented that the rich and middle class are indiscriminately destroying ecosystems evolved over millennia. “There is pervasive destruction in the name of development. Needless to say, this is happening because of a nexus between rulers, propertied classes and so-called real estate dealers,” he said.

He also called for a thorough overhauling of the growth and governance model perpetuated by Central and State governments of varying political hues. He also emphasised on the need to adopt a low-carbon lifestyle.

“It is high time the world adopts the pathway of ecological civilisation — a world of caring and sharing society”.

If it is coincidence, the opposition has had a lucky break. If it is calculation, then the opposition has figured out how to effectively hustle Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party out of hogging the limelight.

The relentless domination of Modi and his party of prime time television and the social media space had transformed the opposition and its doings into fixed targets of attack, rather than political parties with independent identities, ideologies,

It is intriguing that the pushback became visible in the first week of September. The Modi regime was triumphantly broadcasting the returning health of the economy by releasing iffy data on employment and growth as well as the rise of India to number

five in the IMF rankings of the world’s largest economies, which hid from view the obvious, that is, the abysmally low per capita income for an economy that is large because of the population, increasing numbers of whom are desperately poor.The regime was busy touting the renaming of Raj Path as Kartavya Path and delivering a message of duty to the people.
