CPI(M) takes out jatha in Mangalore to hear out people’s woes

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.
