CPI (M) Orissa State Committee gearing up for mass agitation

Orissa State Committee of Communist Party of India (Marxist) has decided to build public opinion demanding action against culprits involved in the galore of scams that surfaced in recent times.  The party would also take up issues such as permanent job status to casual workers who were forced to work like permanent employee and universalisation of public distribution system.

At the end of the CPI (M)'s State committee meeting, Secretary Janardhan Pati said the 2G spectrum scam had dwarfed all other scams those had come to light earlier. “The Rs.1,76,000 crore involved in the 2G spectrum scam would have made it possible to provide 35-kg rice or wheat per month to all family,” Mr. Pati said.

From December 5 to 11, the party would launch widespread public demonstrations and rallies highlighting cases of corruption those happened during the regime of Bharatiya Janata Party and Congress, he said. Mr. Pati said the party cadres would organise public meetings at block level making people aware about the misdeeds by people in power. The State Committee meeting also resolved to step of demand for waiving agricultural loan in 17-drought-affected districts and supply of seeds and water free of cost to farmers for rabi crop. It demanded provision of 10 decimal of homestead and agricultural land to all homeless and landless people in the State. Mr. Pati said during the month of December, January and February, block-level mobilisation programme would culminate in district level.
