CPI and CPI(M) today announced joint protests against the anti-people policies of the Congress governments at the Centre and in Andhra Pradesh and also burning issues like price rise.The state secretaries of CPI and CPI(M) K Narayana and BV Raghavulu met in hyderabad and give call for organising joint protests on people's issues.
They called for a 'jail bharo' on April 9 in protest against the "anti-people" decisions of the Congress governments.
"The power woes were due to faulty policies of the state government which has allowed private companies to sell electricity to other states. Instead of allowing government-owned power companies to produce power, the state has allowed private players to come in under BOT mode. Similarly, irrigation projects, ports and mines are being handed over to private players," Narayana said.
Raghavulu demanded that the government take action against the AP-based private firms who refused to sell power within the state.
The two leaders came down heavily on the state government for trying to bringing in a bill that sought to collect damages for destruction of public property during agitations from political parties who organised them.
The government's aim was to curb protests by opposition parties on people's issues, Raghavulu alleged.
