CPI cadre told to take up people’s movements

National secretary of the Communist Party of India (CPI) K. Narayana, State secretary Chada Venkat Reddy and others have asked the party cadres to oppose what they called the autocratic rule in Telangana. Speaking at a workshop held here on Sunday for district secretaries of the party, they cited the incidents of Nerella in Sircilla-Rajanna district and said the attack on Dalits there would clearly indicate that both the government machinery and the police were protecting the sand mafia. They asked the party activists to build people’s movements in all districts highlighting the district-specific problems and issues.
