New Delhi, Nov 14 (UNI) The Delhi unit of CPI(ML) today held a demonstration demanding rollback of bus and Metro fares hike.
Addressing the protestors at ITO, CPI(ML) Secretary (Delhi) Sanjay Sharma alleged that the Delhi government is burning a hole in the common man's pocket for meeting the expenses of organising Commonwealth Games.
He also alleged that government has been working as an ''agency'' to guarantee profit to private investors through the taxpayers' money.
''Sheila Dikshit government has reduced DTC into a revenue collecting agency for TATA company. Government is purchasing buses from TATA at a price two to three times higher from actual price,'' Mr Sharma said.
''The same ''corporate appeasement'' policy is being implemented against roadside vendors. Around five lakh vendors will be evicted from Delhi by July next year. If organising CWG means depriving people of their livelihoods than we should scrap the games,'' he told UNI.
CPI(ML) Delhi Office Secretary Govind Uniyal said, ''We condemn the Chief Minister's statement that citizens have to pay for development.''
