Continue land struggle: Yechury
Communist Party of India (Marxist) Polit Bureau member Sitaram Yechury has called upon party cadres to wage sustained struggle for securing land to all the landless in tune with the aspirations of those killed in Mudigonda police firing three years ago.
Mr. Yechury inaugurated the new building of the party's mandal committee office at Mudigonda on Sunday.
Addressing a public meeting, Mr. Yechury deplored that the government was trying to curb land struggles by force on one hand and handing over valuable lands to influential companies clandestinely.
“Despite availability of surplus land, the government has miserably failed to allocate at least one acre to all the landless peasants as per the recommendations made by the Koneru Ranga Rao Committee in the past,” he lamented.
Scams galore
“Scams have become the order of the day during the present tenure of the UPA government,” he said.
The illegal mining scams in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka spoke volumes about the misrule and exploitation of mineral resources, he charged.
Price rise
He alleged that the UPA failed to uphold its promises on checking price rise and providing food security. The party cadres should spearhead struggles to check anti-people policies of the government and champion the cause of the poor, he said.
