Nellore: The Communist Party of India (CPI) executive committee meeting held at Ramakotaiah Bhavan in Nellore on Saturday called upon party cadres to prepare aggressively for the upcoming local body elections. Chaired by CPI State Secretariat member Jangala Vijayakumar, the meeting resolved to enter into seat-sharing arrangements with non-NDA parties in constituencies and local areas where the Left party maintains a strong presence.
Addressing the gathering, Vijayakumar stated that statewide organizational meetings are being conducted to mobilize cadre for elections across municipalities, municipal corporations, mandal-level bodies, and wards.
He accused the NDA government of misusing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process to disenfranchise opposition voters, claiming that 30 lakh votes had already been deleted in Andhra Pradesh while notices were issued for another 32 lakh votes. Demanding the immediate removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, he called for the total cancellation of the SIR exercise and the restoration of deleted votes. Critiquing the Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu-led AP government, Vijayakumar alleged that key promises under the ‘Super Six’ welfare scheme remained unfulfilled despite two-and-a-half years in office.
Specifically highlighting delays in providing promised house sites and Rs 4 lakh construction aid, he announced that the CPI would organize a ‘Chalo Assembly’ protest on October 26 to demand housing pattas for poor and homeless families.
CPI Nellore district secretary Arigela Sai, alongside executive members Dama Ankaiah, Yamala Madhu, and Nandipogu Ramanaiah, participated in the meeting.
