Selling away PSEs is against national interest, says Ramakrishna
Communist Party of India (CPI) State secretary K. Ramakrishna on Sunday exhorted the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) and the main opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) to extend support to the ‘Bharat Bandh’ called by the farmers’ organisations on September 27 in protest against the ‘anti-people’s policies’ of the BJP-led Central government.
Leading a ‘Jan Andolan’ padayatra from the Kurnool road bypass centre to the Church centre by the CPI activists and frontal farmers’ and labourers’ organisations such as AIKS and AITUC, Mr. Ramakrishna said that the Centre was selling away the public sector enterprises (PSEs) including the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP), which was against ‘national interest’.
