CPI national secretary K. Narayana has launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao charging them with trying to brand those questioning the “anti-people and dictatorial” policies of the Centre and State governments as “anti-national” and “anti-Telangana” forces respectively, in a bid to “stifle” the voice of the Opposition.
Talking to newsmen here on Monday, Mr Narayana alleged that the BJP-led Central government had played havoc with the lives of hundreds of millions of poor people across the country, leaving the black money hoarders unscathed by arbitrarily implementing the demonetisation policy.
“The TRS regime in Telangana is pursuing dictatorial policies by trying to gag the voice of people against its failure to implement its various pre-election promises, including two-bed room houses,” he alleged.
‘Treating as foes’
The TRS leadership is treating those who actively spearheaded separate Telangana movement, including the CPI leaders and the Telangana Joint Action Committee chairman M. Kodandaram, among others, as foes for highlighting the stark reality of growing disillusionment among farmers, unemployed youth and other sections over the TRS misrule, he charged, alleging that the persons who vehemently opposed formation of Telangana during the statehood movement are being patronised by persons at the helm of affairs.
On the current political situation in Tamil Nadu, he alleged that the BJP-led government at the Centre is trying to misuse the institution of Governor for its “vested political interests”.
The stipulated constitutional provisions should be implemented in letter and spirit to end the impasse and save democracy, he said.
