CPM's help sought to rein in bank employees

By Our Staff Reporter

KOCHI, APRIL 6. The State secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), A. N. Radhakrishnan, has called upon the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI (M) to help amend the ways of bank employees in the State.

The employees had made banking a distant reality for the ordinary people, he said.

Addressing a press conference here today, Mr. Radhakrishnan also promised to work side-by-side with the Left party to improve the credit-deposit ratio in the State as he conceded that the issues raised by the Opposition leader, V. S. Achuthanandan, regarding the performance of the banks in the State were of vital importance.

According to Mr. Radhakrishnan, the majority of the bank employees in the State owed allegiance to CPM/CITU and that if the party wanted, it could bring about a change in the attitude of the bank workers, which could make banking more friendlier to the ordinary people.

Mr. Radhakrishnan also alleged that there was a conspiracy against the party's State president, S. Sreedharan Pillai, by a group which was opposed to Mr. Pillai.

He referred to the court cases that were filed against Mr. Pillai recently as a pointer to this.
