Communist Party of India (CPI) has decided to support Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) in Munugode as the party is of the view that it is the TRS that would protect the interests of Telangana and fight the divisive BJP that was trying to expand itself in the State and topple non-BJP Governments in States.
The decision to support TRS was taken at the party’s State Secretariat meeting held here on Friday, where its State Secretary Chada Venkat Reddy said they were of the view that it was only TRS that could defeat and prevent the expansion of BJP in Telangana. He stated that they were also of the view that TRS was committed to progressive politics in the present political scenario.
It was understood that the CPI meeting also discussed the causes for the by-election at Munugode and the leaders felt that it was due to the personal (business) interests of Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy that the bypoll was being forced upon people. Besides, they were of the view that the BJP had failed to keep any of the promises made to Telangana in the bifurcation Act.
