Elected representatives and office bearers of local bodies from all parts of Tamil Nadu belonging to CPIM conducted a one day hunger strike in Tamil Nadu for more powers and fund allocation. Hunger strike started at 9 am at Chepauk in Chennai. CPIM central committe member Com. T K Rangarajan MP inaugurated the fast. Comrade T K Rangarajan pointed the powers and fund allocation to local bodies should be like states of Kerala and West Bengal. "Even after passing a legislation in Tamil Nadu assembly in 1992, there has been no improvement in the situation for sharing the powers to the local bodies. Only if more powers and fund is allocated to local bodies, then only these local bodies can perform smoothly" he added
