Anantapur: CPI State secretary K Rama Krishna has accused the Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and his cabinet colleagues of indulging in politics and luring voters totally engaged in MLC election campaigning at a time when the state is reeling severely under a drought spell and mass migrations of farm workers and the poor in rural areas.
Addressing a press conference here on Monday, Rama Krishna accused the CM of taking personal interest for ensuring the victory of candidates supported by his party and making inducements to voters by way of free distribution of cell phones and cash gifts.
Rama Krishna said that an estimated 5 lakh rural poor and farm labour from Rayalaseema region had migrated to Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu, Kochi in Kerala and Bengaluru in Karnataka state. The CPI party delegation including journalists would tour the above-mentioned cities for three days by a private chartered bus and meet the migrated people and will get to know their problems and the conditions that forced their migration to places in the context of drought ruling the roost in Rayalaseema districts.
The CPI team will visit three cities on March 3 and expose the government's failure in preventing mass migration to other states for livelihood. Naidu is degrading the office of the chief minister by his dabbling in power politics in MLC graduates and Teachers constituencies, which is the exclusive domain of the teachers and graduates, he added. Rama Krishna maintained that he would place all proofs of the CM's role in making inducements before the EC and advised Naidu to keep off from party politics and safeguard the sanctity of the local body polls.
