The Left parties, CPI(M) and CPI today announced a week-long campaign, between December 8 and 14, in Tamil Nadu against alleged anti-people measures of the BJP-led NDA Government at the Centre.

"The six-month tenure of BJP led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made it clear that it is an anti-people regime," CPI (M) State Secretary G Ramakrishnan and CPI State Secretary D Pandian told reporters here.

The Left leaders said amendments to various labour laws allegedly favouring big corporates will "endanger" crores of labourers.

"Plans to privatise Public Sector Units including the Railways itself is on the cards," and this is not correct, the Left leaders said.
 

Also, the programmes of the BJP like "imposition of Sanskrit" and "changes in education model" to inculcate Hindutva ideals could trigger communal clashes, they claimed.

As part of the propaganda, street-corner and public meetings and protest demonstrations would be staged.
