CPI plans stir against meters to farm pumpsets

Taking a cue from the ongoing agitation by farmers in New Delhi, members of the Communist Party of India-led All India Kisan Sabha in Andhra Pradesh will spearhead a militant struggle against the YSRCP government’s decision to fix smart meters to farm pumpsets, according to CPI State secretary K. Ramakrishna. “We will resist all attempts by the Jagan Mohan Reddy government to fix meters starting from Srikakulam on January 25,” Mr. Ramakrishna said while addressing a roundtable chaired by All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (AIKSS) Prakasam district convenor Ch. Ranga Rao on Tuesday.
