Yashwant wants ‘lokshakti’ to check ‘rajshakti’

Speaking at an event organised by farmers’ NGO Shetkari Jagar Manch at Akola in Vidarbha region on Sunday, he also attacked the central government over demonetisation and implementation of GST. 

Referring to socialist leader Jayaprakash Narayan, Sinha appealed for a ‘lok shakti’ movement which will keep a check on ‘raj-satta’ (government). 

“Let us start this lokshakti initiative from Akola,” he said, adding: “As it is, we are already facing recession. And what are numbers. Numbers can prove one thing and with the same numbers, the other side can also be proven.”

Training his guns on Prime Minister Modi, the BJP leader said, “The head of our government in his recent hour-long speech cited numbers to show India’s progress, saying so many cars and motorcycles were sold.” “Does this mean that the country is progressing,” Sinha asked, adding there was sale, but was there any production.
