Talking to media on the sidelines of the function, Mahto said, “Our party has clinched freedom from the oppressive foreign regime and established the system of democratic governance as a result of which the poor and oppressed sections are able to become ministers, top bureaucrats but the BJP government on the other hand, during its rule established the regime of hatred among different communities, led to highest ever price rise, unemployment and job losses due to closure of factories established during our government and also due to disinvesting the profit making PSUs to favor its corporate friends.”
