Press Statement
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
The Finance Ministry has decided to implement a ten per cent cut in the
government's non-plan expenditure for the current financial year. These
austerity measures do not involve only a ban on first air travel or meetings
in five star hotels, but subsidies will bear the main brunt of the cuts.
This would mean cut in subsidies meant for the people and welfare measures.
The government should come out and explain under what heads these cuts are
being made. The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) opposes any cut in expenditure on
subsidies to the people and welfare measures.
