Hundreds of activists of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) took out a march to the office of the Commissioner of Income Tax here on Friday in protest against the ‘growing unemployment and rise in prices of essential commodities, including petroleum products in the country’.

Speaking after inaugurating the protest, DYFI State president A.N. Shamsheer, MLA, said that all the policies of the Centre favoured corporates.

He accused the Centre of hiking the petroleum price even as the crude oil price came down. “The Prime Minister has failed to keep the promises he gave to the country 40 months ago. Unemployment has become so grave in the country,” he said.

He also said that the rule of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance government was an utter failure. Even senior BJP leaders had pointed out that the skewed economic polices of the Narendra Modi government had destroyed the financial structure of the country, he said. The BJP would face the same electoral fate as the Congress party soon, he added.

He claimed that the Left Democratic Front government had been able to provide a better alternative in Kerala.

The BJP and the RSS would never be able to spread their communal agenda in the State as long as the DYFI and Left parties existed, he said.
