Stating that BJP-led NDA was no alternative to the UPA-led Congress, Communist Party of India (Marxist) Polit Bureau member K. Varadarajan exhorted the poor people to come together to fight against the UPA government's neo-liberal economic policies.
Speaking after opening the Lavu BalaGangadhar Rao Bhavan in Ongole to house CPI(M) frontal organisations, Mr Varadarajan, CPI(M) All India Kisan Sabha national general secretary, alleged that the ‘corrupt' Manmohan Singh government was indifferent when the poor people were reeling under periodic rise in fuel prices having a cascading effect on all essential commodities and peasants committing suicide in large numbers.
“The BJP, which claims itself to fight corruption at Delhi but indulge in graft in Karnataka, is no alternative to the Manmohan Singh government,'' he said.
The UPA government was all out to barter national interest to ‘imperialist forces', he said, adding Parliament had been kept in the dark on a series of Indo-US agreements signed during the recent visit of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Calling for collective fight for the people, of the people and by the people against the policies of liberalisation, privatisation, and globalisation of the Manmohan Singh government, he said activists of the CPI(M) and its frontal organisations were ready to sacrifice even their lives for realising pro-poor policies in the country.
Telangana Armed Peasants struggle fame Mallu Swarajyam, AIKS national vice-president S Malla Reddy were among leaders from frontal organisations who graced the occasion.
