The constituents of the I.N.D.I.A. bloc will sit together and plan their future course of action after the results of the recently-held Assembly elections in five states are declared, Communist Party of India (Marxist) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury, said in Coimbatore on Friday, December 1, 2023.
“It was a closely-contested election and therefore it was not an easy run for the BJP and Prime Minister Modi despite the hectic campaign by the Prime Minister, Home Minister and the entire Cabinet,” he said.
Issues that will reflect in the election include the unemployment rates which are high, and the fact that last year, more than 40,000 corporates went out of the Income Tax net, he said, adding that the net Foreign Direct Investment inflows between April and September this year compared with the same period last year, were down 77 %.
