The CPI (M) district committee has drawn up a plan to undertake a string of protests across the district in the next few weeks to highlight people’s issues and exert pressure on the State government to resolve long pending issues of shelterless poor people, podu farmers and unemployed youth. Party sources said that the month-long agitation programme will start with rallies/demonstrations at the village-level on September 4, followed by mandal-level protests and a dharna in Khammam on September 6 to press for a charter of demands including sanction of two-bedroom houses and ration cards to all eligible poor people. On September 30, the members of the party’s frontal organisations, including the Telangana Rythu Sangham in association with other mass organisations, will lay siege to the main roads in tribal areas demanding immediate steps to resolve podu farmers’ issues.
“Through several targeted attacks against the minorities in the name of religion, the BJP and the Sangh Parivar organisations are on a mission to fragment the State into religious segments,” said Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader and MP Thol. Thirumavalavan. He headed the protest organised by VCK here on Monday against the BJP and Sangh Parivar organisation for inciting violence based on religion. Speaking there, he said, “The RSS’s plan is specifically to turn Hindus into paupers and the Sangh Parivar organisations through intimidating the minorities, have been trying to incite communal frenzy in the State.”
