Udupi: The CPI (M) State Secretary G V Sriram Reddy alleged that Central and State governments are the same when it comes to corruption and economic policies. He was speaking at the CPI (M)’s political convention in the district on Thursday, July 23.
He said, “Both the government follows same policies, regards to corruption; in fact, they are in a race to decide who the most corrupted government is”.
He alleged that the central government’s harmful policies like liberalization and privatization are leading the nation nowhere. State government is not capable of taking any worth decisions. “Our nation is in the wrong hands; both governments would lead the nation towards bankruptcy”.
He demanded that the Prime Minister should break the silence and act against the mass corruption which took place in his own party; he is responsible to answer the public as he promised corruption free government prier to election.
Reddy further added that the farmers in the nation are suffering as the value of agriculture products are reducing drastically. The government has not even allocated 2% of the total budget to the agricultural sector. Government stands for the cooperators and has ensured 5.40 lakh crore tax exemptions for the corporate.
He condemned Land acquisition act and the amendments in labor laws and said that government should support the poor farmers and laborers as they are the foundation for Indian economy. Supporting the corporate at the cost of the labor class will not be entertained, he added.
“CM failed to ensure the resignation of Lokayukta. 12.40 lakh applications are pending before Akrama-Sakrama committee to disposal. 36 lakh applications from the homeless needy and had forwarded it to the government. 112 farmers have committed suicide in State in one month. Siddaramayyah has no solution for the burning issue”, he said.
He also said that CPI (M) will go for a protest from August 1st to 14th midnight against both the governments and demand for a better and safe livelihood for all the poor class.
