CPIM Khammam District Conference Begins


CPIM Khamman district conference ahead of the 20th Party Congress began on Thursday at Bhadrachalam. The three day confrence was inaugurated by CPIM PB member and State Secretary Com. B V Raghavulu. “Jalayagnam will not be completed even after 30 years considering the lacklustre implementation of the programme that is ridden with corrupt practices,” B.V. Raghavulu has said.

“The charges being made by a section of the ruling party leaders against the large-scale irregularities in Jalayagnam vindicates our contention that the programme is riddled with irregularities,” he charged. “The inordinate delay on the part of the government in the execution of the long-pending Dummugudem (Rajiv Sagar) project and its hasty decision to go ahead with the Polavaram project in its present design shows its concern for the contractors,” he charged.

He further alleged there was no unanimity among the ruling party leaders on the Polavaram project. He said the CPI (M) district conference would formulate appropriate course of action to step up pressure on the government to expeditiously complete the Dummugudem project and halt the Polavaram project in its original design to avert colossal loss of tribal and forest lands. 

He demanded that the government explore the alternative plan on the Polavaram project submitted by the experts to reduce flooding and protect the interests of tribal people. Taking a dig at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, he alleged that the Trinamool Congress government was unleashing terror on cadre of Left parties as well as the Maoists.
