Visakhapatam: A day after the attack on CPM office by BJP workers and RSS functionaries in Visakhapatnam, the leaders and members of Left parties, YSRCP, Rights Groups and Trade Union Organisations took out a rally from Saraswathi Park to Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) in the city, rebuking the actions of the saffron party cadres and demanding arrest of MLC PVN Madhav.
As many as 300 persons took part in the rally and raised slogans against the BJP and RSS. After the rally reached GVMC, leaders of the Left parties and trade unions addressed the gathering.
City CPM secretary B Ganga Rao said, “Some of the BJP cadres are trying to bring in political violence culture into calm and peaceful Vizag. This affects the brand image of the city. As Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is visiting the city on Monday, he should respond on the matter and take action to protect the fabric of harmony and peace in Visakhapatnam.”
Later, CITU state president Ch Narsing Rao recalled the unruly actions of BJP cadres led by MLC PVN Madhav and local leaders. “I received a call from Visakhapatnam North MLA Vishnu Kumar Raju of BJP and apologised for what has happened,” said the CITU leader adding that the MLA has left the BJP’s rally knowing the picketing move of the party cadres on Saturday.
CPI state assistant secretary J Satyanarayana Murthy termed the act of BJP’s local unit as undemocratic. “As the BJP has been unable to deliver what was promised, it is resorting to wrong actions to divert public attention on their failures,” he flayed.
Commenting on the political killings, CPM leader Loknadam noted that in last five years, 86 Left party workers were killed in the Kerala whereas BJP/RSS lost 64 members. District YSRCP president Gudivada Amarnath, CPI leader Stalin, HRF general secretary VS Krishna, trade union leaders and others attended.
