Describing the Narendra Modi government as a regime of "dictatorial governance", CPI leader D Raja said the country's future was at stake and democracy in peril as there is no space for expressing dissent or for questioning government policies.
"If someone questions or criticises the government, they are dubbed anti-nationals," CPI national secretary D Raja said.
"Here the RSS and the Sangh Parivar are trying to impose their Hindutva agenda. During the past five years, there has been a systematic attack on all institutions.
Modi spoke maximum governance and minimum government. In fact it has become maximum Modi and minimum or minus governance," Raja told PTI in an interview here.
He alleged that in a systematic attack, affecting the credibility of CBI, ED, Election Commission, the institutions are being undermined and misused.
Highlighting the need for "a pro-people secular, democratic alternative government" at the Centre, Raja said, to address the concerns and sufferings of the "toiling masses", the government should go.
"The Modi government has, in fact, terribly failed to manage economy. In fact it is a mismanagement of economy.
Value of the Indian Rupee has been falling down. The way they brought demonetisation, the way they implemented GST affected the economy and that is why there is distress in industrial sector...," he said, adding that the agrarian distress faced by the country was "unprecedented."
