‘If Govt fails to change existed policy, people will change Govt’

--CPI (ML) Lib holds ‘Jan Jagran Samabesh’

BHUBANESWAR: Protesting State and Central Government’s indifference and anti-people attitude towards its common people, the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation staged ‘Jan Jagran Samabesh’ at the Lower PMG here on Monday to sensitise the common people of the State on the sidelines of the nationwide protest of the party.

Hundreds of supporters and workers of the party flaunting placards and red-flags came in a procession starting from Master Canteen to the Lower PMG and staged rally in front of the State Legislative Assembly here.    

The party leaders criticised the State and the Central Government’s corporate friendly and anti-people attitude towards common people of the State. During the rally, the party raised the issues of rampant corruption in the country, FDI in retail, corporate loot, price hike, special care to agriculture, employment, farmer suicide, black marketing of feriliser, distress sale of paddy, land for landless and forest rights to poor tribals.

Party’s national secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya attending the rally said the State and the Central Government have failed to address the issues related to commonmen. He demanded CBI inquiry into the mining scam in the State.

“If the Government does not change the existed anti-people policy, people will change the Government,” said Bhattacharya, adding, “They will support February 21, 2013 Bharat Bandh protesting FDI in retail.”      

Party State Secretary Khitish Biswal said the country is going under a very bad period due to economic slowdown and it happened after the introduction of globalisation and neo-liberalisation in the country. The Central Government neglected the interest of the common people by introducing the neo-liberalisation in economy which helped corporate houses to loot the land, water, forest and mines of the country, he added. 

The State Government is also involved in many scams including dal, coal and Ground nut seed purchase scam which shows the real image of the Government, said the party members. The State Government failed to address the problems of farmers of the State and law and order situation of the State, the party members added.
