Modi, a big demagogue, liar

CPI General Secretary alleges that the PM is direct agent of MNCs

Hyderabad: Alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not only a big demagogue but also a liar, Communist Party of India (CPI) General Secretary Suravaram Sudhakar Reddy said the Left parties alone had the strength to fight against the communal BJP. Speaking to the media at CPI State office Maqdoom Bhavan here on Wednesday on the occasion of becoming party’s national general secretary for the second time, Suravaram said the CPI had decided to fight against the BJP at national level.

Criticizing the BJP’s soft corner towards communal politics, he said the former was giving top priority to millionaires and industrialists. The Centre had been introducing new tax policies only to satisfy millionaires, he alleged. As part of it, the Centre had been reducing funds to welfare schemes like NREGS, Food Security and introduced Land Acquisition Ordinance, he said.

Stating that the CPI was not against industries, Suravaram said it was not proper on the part of the Centre to acquire land forcibly from farmers instead of giving good compensation, alternative lands at other places and providing other amenities. “The Centre should acquire land only after convincing farmers,” he opined.

Finding fault with the BJP government at the Centre, Suravaram said the Centre was not keen on bringing back black money from foreign countries as assured before the elections. He alleged that Modi was a direct agent of multinational companies and millionaires and hence he was not making efforts to bring back black money from other countries. Suravaram said he would work for the party’s revival. “The Party experienced losses and we decided to come out from the debacle,” he said, adding that the party would fight against the anti-people policies of the government by strengthening party cadre in villages and towns.
