HYDERABAD: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has criticised the rytu chaitanya yatras of the State Government which commenced on Sunday as an election stunt.

The programme was taken up with an eye on the upcoming local body polls. It was confined to teaching lessons to farmers.

There was no mention of how the Government proposed to help their operations, the party's floor leader in Assembly, Nomula Narasimhaiah, and party MLA, J. Ranga Reddy, told a news conference here on Wednesday.

Mr. Narasimhaiah said that the bureaucrats continued to mislead the Government with false suggestions like they did during the Telugu Desam Party regime.

The anxiety of Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy to do a great deal for farmers was not reflected in the functioning of the executive, they charged.
