Tirupati: As part of the nationwide stir, the CPI activists led by district secretary A Rama Naidu staged a protest before the Sub-Collector’s office here on Monday condemning the central and state governments apathy in solving farmer’s problems.

Highlights:
- CPI activists stage protest before the Sub-Collector’s office
- Later, party workers courted arrest at MR Palli police station
When police tried to detain the protesting activists, Rama Naidu said that they are ready to go to jail for the sake of farmers and went to MR Palli police station in a procession where they courted arrest. About 80 activists were arrested and later let off on self-bonds.
Speaking on the occasion, Rama Naidu lashed at the central and state governments for their utter failure in coming to the rescue of the farmers facing many problems including lack of remunerative price, drought etc. He said the six BJP ruled states in the North resorted to repressive measures against the farmers when they were up in the arms against lack of remunerative price for their produce instead of taking proper steps to save the farmers in distress.
The centre which has no shy or shame in waiving the loans of corporate are not ready to extend the same gesture to the farmers in crisis, he said demanding waiving of all farm loans up to March 2016 from bailing out the farmers from debt burden. CPI city secretary C Penchalaiah and others were present.
