Left in TN to mobilise people against Centre, State govts

To build public opinion against the "anti-people" policies of the BJP-led Centre and the AIADMK Government for allegedly not addressing basic issues in several sectors, inlcuding industries, the CPI (M) and the CPI will together hold mass contact programmes and a "hunger strike", the Left parties announced here today.
"From August 25 to 31, we will hold mass contact programmes. We will go from door to door in urban and rural areas," G Ramakrishnan and D Pandian, State Secretaries of the CPI(M) and the CPI respectively, told reporters.
On September 1, hunger strike will be held in all the District headquarters.

The "wrong" economic policies being pursued by the Central and State governments were the major reason for the problems faced by the people, they charged.
Accusing the BJP-led Centre of following liberalisation policies pursued by the erstwhile UPA regime even more vigourously, the Left leaders alleged that the Centre was favouring big corporates.
The Tamil Nadu government was implementing the wrong economic policies of the Centre. The industry sector was "stagnant" and there was no growth in farm sector, they alleged.
