Pondicherry: Secretary of the Tamil Nadu State Committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) N. Varadarajan has said the UPA Government at the Centre was tottering in adopting the Common Minimum Programme.

He was addressing reporters here on Saturday after releasing the party's publication on the highlights of the civic polls and also the role of representatives in local bodies in Pondicherry.

The general secretary of the all India Democratic Women's Association Sudha Sundaraman received the first copy of the publication.

Mr. Varadarajan said the Left parties were keeping a vigil to ensure that there was no deviation from the CMP by the UPA Government. Our support to the UPA should not be taken as a licence to inflict burden on the people, he said. "Our pressure to ensure that the UPA adhered to the CMP will continue."

He called upon the Tamil Nadu Government to form a multi-party monitoring committee to ensure that rice available at Rs. 2 a kg through public distribution system was of good quality.

`Land for landless' scheme should benefit the Adivasis and the Scheduled Tribes. Mr Varadarajan criticised the decision of the Centre to sell ten per cent stake of the Government equity in NLC and NALCO.

Earlier Mr. Varadarajan launched the party's poll campaign in the town. The party is going it alone in the civic elections.
