CPI to launch one week campaign against Centre

Chennai: The CPI state unit will launch a week-long campaign of processions and public meetings against the BJP government at the Centre on June 29.
Party state secretary R. Mutharasan said the campaign would focus on the pro-corporate policies of the Centre and said such policies are severely affecting the lives of poor people, workers, agricultural labourers and small traders.

He said the Centre had supported Karnataka government on the Cauvery issue and refused to implement the Supreme Court order to form the Cauvery Management Board, he added.

The BJP government is acting against secularism, he charged and said the Centre is rejecting federalism and acting against the welfare and development of Tamil Nadu.
