CPM to intensify stir against Centre's anti-people policies
It felt the clean chit given by High Court to chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan in Lavalin Case had enhanced the image of the LDF government.
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The CPM on Saturday organised protest meetings at the local level across the state to highlight the ‘anti-people’ policies of the Union government as part of its nationwide campaign. It demands loan waivers for farmers being driven to suicide, relief to those affected by GST.
It said the BJP government had promised higher support price for the farmers for various crops, two crore jobs annually and women reservation, but none fulfilled. Due to its neoliberal policies people especially the poor are suffering.
The accusations include rising farmer suicides, unemployment rate, privatisation of public sector units at a faster pace, price rise and banks and financial institutions taken out of social control.
It said the attacks on Dalits and minorities had increased manifold after the BJP came to power. The party cautioned against attempts to create communal polarisation.
It said the BJP was selectively targeting party workers and party offices in the state creating law and order problems.
It felt the clean chit given by High Court to chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan in Lavalin Case had enhanced the image of the LDF government.
The party decided to intensify the campaign in the run up to organisational elections beginning next month.
