A united movement involving concerted mass struggles is the need of the hour to free people from the “authoritarian” BJP regime on the lines of the independence struggle that liberated the nation from the British colonial rule, said CPI (M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury.
He was addressing a public meeting held in Hanamkonda on the second day of the CPI (M) State committee meeting on Tuesday. Earlier, scores of cadre of the CPI (M) and its frontal organisations took out a huge rally in the town. Dozens of hut dwellers, members of different mass organisations and people from various walks of life took part in the rally.
Mr Yechury launched a scathing attack on the BJP regime at the Centre, accusing it of imposing GST on food items as did British rulers during their colonial rule, unleashing onslaught on livelihoods of people and tenets of the Constitution besides fomenting communal hatred.
