CPI To Continue Protests Against TRS Government

Giving a call to its cadre to wage a "war" against the TRS government for "leaving public issues to the wind", CPI said that it would intensify public movements against the former's policies.

Delivering an inaugural speech at the two-day workshop for CPI district secretaries at Maqdoom Bhavan on Saturday, CPI State Secretary Chada Venkat Reddy alleged that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao did not fulfill the assurances he had made in the TRS manifesto.

People lost faith in the KCR-led government after it watered down the image of the political system by encouraging Party defections.

The TRS government, like the previous Congress and TDP governments, was adopting corporate policies that ignored farmers, labourers and the poor, he alleged.

The government failed to distribute three acres of land each to the dalits, against what it had promised, and also did not construct sufficient double bedroom houses for the poor, against the promise. But they had eased business and industrial permits for corporates. This was a part of its corporate policy, he claimed.

The State government's failure to waive loans at a single go was the reason for the increasing number of farmer suicides in the State, Reddy alleged.

He also accused the government of failing to regularize the services of contract labourers and outsourced employees.

Khammam District Unit Secretary B Hemantha Rao presided over the meeting, while CPI national executive member Aziz Pasha, CPI State assistant secretaries Palle Venkat Reddy, Kunamneni Sambasiva Rao, State executive committee members G Mallesh, E Narsimha, T Srinivas Rao, Mallepally Adireddy and N Balamallesh, and Madhukar of the Education wing participated in the meeting.
