Pledging the CPI(M)’s full support to the nation-wide general strike slated for March 28 and 29, the party polit bureau member Brinda Karat said the stir will see millions of workers and other toiling masses coming together to protest against the “anti-farmer”, “anti-labour” and “pro-corporate” polices of the BJP-led Central government.
“Farmers of Telangana are suffering a lot as paddy is not being procured and we want to know Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao will support the strike of farmers and workers. Has he got the sincerity and honesty to do that,” she asked.
She was speaking at a public meeting after inaugurating the party mandal unit office in Nelakondapally in Khammam district late on Tuesday evening.
