CPI(M) to organise maha padayatra on Polavaram project from June 20

The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) will organise a 15-day Polavaram Nirvasitula maha padayatra from June 20. Apart from the displaced families, CPI(M) central leaders will also take part in the padayatra, which will begin from Nellipaka (one of the villages that will submerge under the project) in Yetapaka mandal in the State.

CPI(M) State secretary V. Srinivasa Rao and others released a poster on the padayatra here on Monday. Mr. Srinivasa Rao said the government released a mere ₹7,000 crore towards the rehabilitation when the requirement was ₹32,000 crore.

Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy should also clear the air about the ₹10,000-crore assistance from the Centre. “Did the State government receive it? If yes, how was it spent?”
