CPM neglects T problems: KCR

Lashing out at the Communist Party of India (Marxist) state secretary BV Raghavulu for his failure to raise issues faced by the people from Telangana, Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao on Sunday said that this is part of the CPM’s negligent attitude towards the region.

The TRS chief stated that the CPM state secretary has no hesitation to stage dharnas or protest in favour of any public issue and against the government of the day but it has conveniently neglected Miryalguda’s problems.

Speaking at a function to welcome CPM members into TRS fold at the TRS Bhavan, KCR pointed out to the problem of fluoride content in water in Nalgonda district where an estimated 1.5 lakh children have been affected. He said that Miryalguda in Nalgonda has elected Jullakanti Rangareddy of the CPM, yet the party has failed to raise the issue of fluoride content in the water at any appropriate forum.

The TRS chief also called on other CPM members to leave the party and join the separate Telangana protagonists, he said that Sunday’s ‘mini-exodus’ of the party workers joining the TRS fold was the beginning of a ‘golden period’.

Incidentally, Mr Raghavulu’s indefinite hunger strike which began on Thursday has garnered support of the opposition leaders of all hues.
