Lok Sabha polls | Unemployment, price rise, will be major electoral issues: Virudhunagar MP

The upcoming Lok Sabha elections in the country will be fought on the simple concept of whether the country should have a government at the Centre that supports only corporates, or a government that cares for the common man, said two-time Congress MP, B. Manickam Tagore. 

Democracy, in the largest democracy in the world, is under threat due to Prime Minister Modi’s government, he charged.  “The Parliament now is not the same Parliament it used to be. There is no scope for the members of the Opposition parties to raise important issues. I have been suspended from the Lok Sabha on three occasions,” Mr. Tagore said. 

Mr. Tagore was suspended first, when he tried to speak about the rising prices of petrol and diesel, next, while he was opposing the three new Farm Laws and then, when he and others, asked Union Home Minister Amit Shah to make a statement about the security breach at the Parliament.
