Currency ban a political conspiracy: Puvvada 

Khammam: Former MLA and senior leader of the Communist Party of India (CPI), Puvvada Nageshwar Rao, criticised the Central government for banning Rs 500 and Rs1,000 notes and termed it as a big conspiracy only to get political benefits.

Addressing a meeting held here at Mekala Sangaiah Hall in Khammam on Monday, under the leadership of CPI leaders B G Climont, Mekala Srinivas Rao and Yanali Sambashiva Rao, Puvvada said, “When announcing the ban on Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi looked happy. But when he was giving the explanation for banning the notes in recent meeting at Goa, he looked distressed. He must reveal who warned him of killing.”

“After coming to power, the BJP party encouraged communal activities. The leaders of the BJP party were boasting that they were the real descendants of the freedom fighters along with RSS. This is not the method of banning the notes. It is not good to trouble crores of people in the country for the sake of hundred families,” he said.

He said instead of becoming a rich nation, day-by-day poverty was increasing in the country under the ruling of the NDA government. “The government is in the hands of some corporate companies which are running the government for their interest not for the welfare of the people,” he said.

Criticising the Telangana government, Puvvada said, “The TRS government is deceiving people in the name of projects. By false promises of water supply to one crore acres of land, the government is trying to cheat people of Telangana.”

The CPI Party State committee member and former MLA of Kothagudem Kunamneni Sambashiva Rao said, “Many people are facing problems without any proper shelter in the city and some are not receiving pensions. It is not the roads, parks and fountains that will fill the stomach of a poor person. When there is a development of poor and middle class people economically, then it is called real development.

The Telangana government is wasting funds by investing in unnecessary schemes.” He said it was only the CPI party which stood in support of the poor and middle class people and would continue to fight for their rights and for their welfare.
