New Delhi, November 26: It is rare when a Chief Minister stages a sit-in protest in Delhi. But Delhi’s Jantar Mantar witnessed this rare spectacle when the Tripura Chief Minister, Manik Sarkar led thousands of people from various states and sat on a dharna today. The CPI(M) Polit Bureau member was joined by General Secretary Prakash Karat and other members of the Polit Bureau and the Central Committee in initiating an agitation against the Modi government’s moves to curtail and restrict the implementation of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act to 200 most backward districts in the country. The protest in Delhi was part of the call given by the CPI(M) for a countrywide protest on the issue. (Ganashakti)
