Ties with America will ruin India: Elamaram Kareem

Prime Minister Modi is turning US President Trump's visit into a stage for displaying India's subservience, said CITU state general secretary Elamaram Kareem MP. He was inaugurating the state conference of the Kerala Water Authority Employees Union (CITU). Modi's policy is total surrender to America, and India is becoming America's junior partner. America has trapped India in many international agreements, and this visit will continue that. Economic inequality is growing in the country, and the Centre continues its position that public sector undertakings are not needed. It is the policies and governance of the Left Democratic Front that have protected the public sector in the state, he said.
