The move was announced through a letter dated November 27, by the party’s spokesperson Abhay.
The banned CPI (Maoist) has expelled its politburo member and former member of the Central Committee Kobad Ghandy, for allegedly indulging in anti-party activities and abandoning the Maoist ideology.
This was announced through a letter dated November 27, by the party’s spokesperson Abhay.
The Maoist party accused him of projecting the movement in bad light in the book ‘Fractured Freedom – A Prison Memoir’, which was penned by Mr. Ghandy, after his release from prison in 2019.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
