"The Modi Government has not fulfilled BJP's poll promises during their 100 day rule and has disappointed the people. Inflation has touched a record level of 107 points. There has also been no industrial growth," CPI state secretary D Pandiyan told reporters here
The CPI leader condemned the compulsory Insurance scheme to farmers for obtaining bank loans and demanded that the C ENTRE patronise Public Sector Insurance companies and not encourage private Insurance firms.

On the September 18 local body polls, he lambasted the ruling AIADMK and urged all political parties to support the CPI backed CPI(M) candidates to defeat the 'money power' and 'muscle power' used in the run up to polling day
He welcomed the additional compensation announced for Vacathi rape victims, but said it was not feasible and more money should be given to those affected and their families.
Pandian also demanded that proper compensation be given to those affected during search operations by police during search operations to nab forest brigand Veerapaan, as per the the Justice Sadhasivam Committee's recommendation.

Pandian was here to attend the state CPI Executive Committee and and District CPI Secreataries meeting here.
He would also participate in the three day state Agricultural Labourers three day State conference, to be held here from tomorrow.
