Jobless will teach fitting lesson to TRS in GHMC election: CPI

Karimnagar: 'After several struggles and movements, people had achieved separate Telangana State expecting that their lives would change and will get jobs, but the TRS had betrayed them.

The unemployed youth are going to teach a fitting lesson to the TRS in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections like that of Dubbaka by-election,' alleged CPI State secretary Chada Venkat Reddy.

Speaking at a press meet at the party office here on Wednesday, Venkat Reddy alleged that the BJP government at the Centre was trying to benefit corporate biggies and taking steps accordingly. Farmers are facing lot of problems without minimum support price (MSP) for the

produce, which they had produced after investing huge amounts of money.

He reminded that hundreds of farmers of Kamareddy and Nalgonda districts incurred huge loss due to the recent heavy rains and some of them even burnt their produce in frustration for not getting MSP for their

produce. Both the State and Central governments were busy in blaming each other on fixing MSP for fine variety of paddy

and trying to cheat innocent farmers, he criticised. BJP State president must answer the question asked by Finance Minister Harish Rao regarding the MSP, he demanded.

Venkat Reddy pointed out that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao had fixed the crops which farmers should cultivate but forgot to fix MSP of the yield after production. It is the responsibility of the State government to purchase paddy and corn that was produced in the State as per the directions of the government, he demanded.

Alleging that the TRS government distributed money and liquor enormously in Dubbaka by-elections and did not focus on public issues and never fulfilled its poll promises, he said that's why the TRS was defeated in Dubbaka by-polls. "The unemployed youth are teaching a fitting lesson to the KCR government. The same scene will repeat in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections," he stated.

CPI leaders P Kedari, K Srujan Kumar, B Ashok, B Babu, J V Ramana Reddy, K Surendar, B Raji Reddy, B Mahendar, K Manikanta Reddy, B Ugendar and N Srinivas were present along with others.
