Accusing the corporate media of projecting Gujarat as a fast developing State under the leadership of its Chief Minister Narendra Modi, Communist Party of India’s (CPI) State unit election committee convener K. Ramakrishna on Thursday said that the ground realities were quite different in Gujarat where labour laws were violated on a large scale.
‘Sectoral development’“The development of Gujarat is sectoral. Only corporate companies have been befitted during Modi’s rule and they are now blowing the trumpets for him,” Mr. Ramakrishna said, while addressing a press conference here. Expressing concern over the flowing of money in the general elections, he said that polls in India had already become a play field for the corporates.
“Individuals with a spirit of public service cannot enter into politics, as all the major political parties are choosing candidates, basing on spending capabilities,” he observed.
Mr. Ramakrishna said that the CPI would continue to play a proactive roll in creating awareness among the public about the importance of vote and the need to choose the right persons as their representatives. The CPI’s nominee for the Kakinada city Assembly constituency T. Madhu and other leaders were also present.
