CPI (M) dares Anam brothers for open debate on ‘Indiramma'

NELLORE: CPI (M) State secretary B.V. Raghavulu on Saturday visited the camp at Gandhi statue in the city, where CPI (M) leaders are on an indefinite fast on various people's problems.

Former Minister and TDP district president Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy, CPI (M) State secretariat member Jakka Venkaiah, district leader T.P. Bhanu Raju and others also visited the camp.

Addressing the gathering later, Mr. Raghavulu blamed the ruling party representatives and the officials for not responding to the relay hunger strikes, which made the leaders to begin fast unto death.

Reacting to the comments allegedly made by local MLA Anam Vivekananda Reddy that the CPI (M) leaders were doing fasts by eating biryanis and dosas, the CPI (M) State secretary said criticising the huger strikes is nothing but insulting Mahatma Gandhi and Congress party.

“Instead of solving the problems amicably, Minister Anam Ramnarayana Reddy and his brother and MLA Mr.Vivekananda Reddy are giving unnecessary statements,” he alleged and dared them to come for an open discussion on the irregularities in Indiramma Housing Scheme and on poor sanitation, unsafe drinking water, bad roads, street lights and removal of ration cards for genuine persons in the district.

Alleging that nearly Rs.1,300 crore was misused in Indiramma housing scheme in the State, Mr. Raghavulu demanded that the government put the details of the three phases of Indiramma Houses sanctioned, allotted, status of under construction houses, list of beneficiaries in each district, material distributed, loans disbursed and other details in the Internet.
