IMPHAL, December 15: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has failed to deliver his promises made to the people before the Lok Sabha elections, Communist Party of India (Marxist) central committee member Khagendra Das said during the inaugural function of the 17th Manipur State Conference of the CPI (Marxist) at the Manipur Press Club today.
The conference will continue till December 17.
Elaborating further he said the Centre is yet to work on the issues of unemployment and price hike among other things.
He continued that more than 32 percent of the country`™s population continues to be homeless.
Owing to the steep price hike of commodities, coupled with the lack of commitment and negligence of the government since Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister, more than two lakh farmers have left farming, more than 46,000 others have killed themselves while another 69,000 others have attempted suicide, he said.
The North Eastern States are poorer as compared to other States, he said adding that although various schemes have been set-up, none have been properly implemented yet.
Das also said that the Centre has made promises from time to time to promote and develop the region, however, no efforts have been taken up to turn the assurances into action.
The Centre`™s lackadaisical attitude towards the region is unfortunate, he continued.
CPI (M) Manipur State Committee, secretariat member Yumnam Ratan speaking at the observation said the conference was held mainly to highlight proposals of the State committee for the 21st Party Congress which will be held in April 2015 at Vishakhapatnam.
