A press conference was held today at the Congress Bhavan, Kohima organised by the Nagaland Congress Pradesh Committee with regard to the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra to be held in Nagaland on January 15.
Mathew Anthony, National spokesperson and National Media Co-ordinator in charge of Northeast India, criticized the BJP government mentioning that the 10 years of grave injustice – Anyay- has been meted out by the BJP Govt affecting the people, India’s Democracy, and Constitution.
“Unprecedented unemployment has completely shattered the dreams and future of our youth. The backbreaking price rise has extinguished the hard-earned savings of our poor and middle-class. Income Inequality is at its peak,” stated Anthony.
He highlighted a critical perspective on various aspects of the Modi Government’s governance over the past ten years.
“A handful of Billionaires rule and puppet the present dispensation. SCs, STs, OBCs, minority and the poor have been systematically discriminated against. Farmers have been betrayed. Women have been deceived. All autonomous institutions have been strangulated and subjugated,” stated the National spokesperson.
He further flayed the government’s performance on various concerns such as unemployment, inflation, farmer issues, social discrimination, women’s safety, public health, economic policies, alleged favoritism towards certain businesses, national security, and claims of threats to democracy.
“Use of ED, CBI, II against Opposition, to illegally overthrow elected governments have become a norm. Laws are made by suspending the entire Opposition. National Security has been grievously endangered by giving Clean Chit to China. Social, Economic and Political lives of citizens have been destroyed through a noisy din of Jumlas, PR Stunts, Glitzy Events and Sabotaging Institutions,” stated Anthony
He also laid focus on the opposition-led state governments in Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Manipur which according to Anthony, “fell after the B]P used blatant money power and threats of investigation by ED and CBI to induce MLAs to switch.” ;

“Modi Government and BJP-RSS does not want India to see the Reality. But India has now realized that it shall raise its voice, together, in a powerful manner in the orthcoming 2024 Elections through the Yatra led by Rahul Gandhi. India will fight – Nyay Ka Haq Milne Tak!,” asserted Anthony. B
S. Supong Meren Jamir, the President of the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC), further expressed that this Yatra has its foundation at the grassroots level, where their leaders have decided to take this message to the people of the country. “Many individuals do not have a platform to voice their concerns, and this initiative aims to reach out to those who are experiencing depression and deprivation, allowing them to engage with their leader and discuss their grievances,” stated Jamir emphasizing that this is a march for unity and justice in India.
Ranajit Mukherjee, the AICC Secretary in charge of Nagaland, along with S. Supong Meren Jamir, President of the NPCC, Capt. GK. Zhimomi, Vice President of the NPCC and Chairman of BJNY-Nagaland Committee, and Seyie Sachu, Ex-Candidate from 11-northern angami-2, were all present at the conference.
