Releasing two booklets - Defeat BJP, Defend Secularism and No To the Gujarat Model - based on NSSO data and census records, politburo member Brinda Karat and CPM Gujarat secretary Arun Mehta said Gujarat model is based on exploitation. "The so-called Gujarat model is based on cheap labour and its exploitation, very low expenditure on consumption, very high malnutrition, very high school dropout rates and very low expenditure on education and healthcare," she said. Karat also said there is no Modi wave in the country and BJP's prime ministerial candidate is just getting desperate.
"Their desperation shows in their actions. They are not only annoying and disappointing their own senior leaders but also giving tickets to those who have been chargesheeted in the Muzaffarnagar riots cases and attracting people like Amit Shah, who is accused in an encounter killing case, and the likes of Pramod Muthalik (whose outfit was accused of molesting women in Mangalore)," she said.
Talking of development, Karat said, NSSO records shows the per capita consumption expenditure in rural areas of Gujarat showed that 90 per cent people spent only Rs 75 per day on food and essentials. She said the dropout rate is as high as 58 per cent, employment rate grew at 0.4 per cent, much less than the national average. "Narendra Modi and P Chidambaram are equal in terms of jobless growth. The so-called Gujarat model is only for the corporates and not the people," she said.
Mehta said a myth is being spread that there is 24-hour power supply in Gujarat. "In rural Gujarat power supply is not for more than six hours. Also, 1.21 lakh applications for power connection are pending for five years," he said. Even water supply, he said, is irregular. He gave out details of various cities like Rajkot, Gondal, Junagadh, Amreli, Fathehpura and others where water supply is either on alternate days or once a week. Mehta said thousands of kilometer of Narmada sub-canal has not been constructed. As for jobs, he said, for the post of 1500 block secretaries with a fixed salary of Rs 5000 per month, eight lakh applications came. "It was found that a BJP leader was involved in taking bribe ranging from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 15 lakh from applicants," he said.
