Four issues raised by Didi at rallies today #BengalPolls
Waiting for report on sting
It is election time; that is why these videos are being telecast. Nothing can be done now. Candidates had already been announced. If it was earlier, I would have thought about it. Now I’m waiting for the report of the investigation into the sting.
Doubled tax revenues
We have doubled tax revenues in the last four years without increasing taxes – from Rs 20,000 crore to Rs 40,000 crore.
No financial freedom
We only got political right to administer the State, but not any financial freedom because both the Congress and the BJP governments took away substantial amounts from our revenues to pay off the debts left behind by the CPI(M).
Inherited huge debt
Narendra Modi ji’s government doesn’t have to pay such money for the debts of the previous government; that is the reason he can talk so big when he comes to Bengal. Neither do those of Rajasthan, Bihar, Gujarat or Uttar Pradesh.
