The
Communist Party of India (Marxist) launched a three-day vehicle rally
through the city to gauge the public mood and record various problems
faced by citizens.
Flagged off at a function in
Central Market in Mangalore on Monday, the vehicle would travel through all 60
wards of the city to “understand” the problems faced by citizens, said
CPI (M) leader Vasant Achari. He said the city had seen little
improvement under the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress
governments.
Sunil Kumar Bajal, city Secretary of
CPI(M), said there had been little development in the four years since
the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) came to power. He accused them of
“betraying” the people and not fulfilling the promises made during the
last election.
He particularly faulted the Mangalore
City Corporation for the substandard concreting works across the city
and not laying pavements or storm-water drains. He condemned the
corporation’s decision to hand over water billing to a private company. “With
much fanfare they (State Government) said a new building for Lady
Goschen Hosiptal would come up. While the old building has been
demolished, no work has started on the new block. The dumping of debris
and waste near the children’s ward is a health hazard,” he said.
The CPIM has decided to hold a protest rally on August 27 to galvanise support for a “corruption-free” Government in the State.
