Demonetisation, GST, unplanned COVID lockdown were "catastrophic decisions": Mallikarjun Kharge
New Delhi: In a recent tweet, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, blaming him for what he termed as "catastrophic decisions" that have wreaked havoc on the Indian economy and the lives of millions of citizens.
Kharge's tweet highlighted three key policies of demonetisation, the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), and the unplanned COVID-19 lockdown imposed in March 2020, which he claims have collectively destroyed families and crippled livelihoods across the nation.
Kharge stated, "PM Modi enacted a catastrophe on the Indian Economy through the disastrous decisions of Demonetisation, Flawed GST, and unplanned Covid Lockdown! Destroyed families and wreaked havoc in the lives of crores! No Indian shall ever forgive or forget the Modi Govt for this body-blow dealt on their livelihoods."
"एक अकेला, सब पर भारी !"

He further alleged that despite extensive efforts by the government to cover up the adverse effects of these policies through substantial spending on public relations, spreading misinformation, and high-decibel propaganda, the truth is inevitably coming to light.
The demonetisation of high-value currency notes was carried out in 2016 while the GST was rolled out in 2017.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
