Yechuri to address CPI(M) meetings

By Our Special Correspondent

VIJAYAWADA, APRIL 13. Intensifying its campaign for the coming elections, the CPI(M) district committee has decided to hold about 250 public meetings in different parts of the district involving the party's senior leaders.

Senior CPI(M) leaders including the party's politburo member, Sitaram Yechuri, the CPI(M) State committee secretary, B.V. Raghavulu, and others will address the public meetings being organised by the party. While Mr. Yechuri will participate in the public meeting being organised at the Tummalapalli Kala Kshetram on April 19, Mr. Raghavulu will address a meeting at Nidumolu Assembly constituency where the party's candidate, Paturi Ramaiah, is in the fray. Informing the party's proposed programmes for the elections, the CPI(M) district committee secretary, V. Uma Maheswara Rao, said that as part of efforts to defeat the `anti-people' and `communal' TDP-BJP combine, the party had decided to take up independent campaign with like-minded and secular people besides the joint campaign presently being taken up along with the Congress. Stating that the State and Central Governments had failed to solve people's problems, he said it was regrettable that the BJP and TDP were trying to hoodwink the people in the name of the `feel good' campaign. The policies adopted by the State Government in particular resulted in denial of water to over 15 lakh acres including 1.5 lakh acres in the delta region while scores of industries were closed.
