Gadwal: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) in Telangana expressed worries about increasing American influence on India's foreign policy. This concern was voiced by State Secretary John Wesley during a meeting at Anantha Convention Hall in the district. District committee member G. Raju led the gathering, which included many party leaders and activists.
John Wesley questioned why the central government stayed silent on Donald Trump's claim that he prevented a war between India and Pakistan. He demanded an explanation from the Modi government about America's role in shaping India’s foreign policy.
Wesley criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for celebrating India’s economic status, while ignoring domestic inequalities. He pointed out that a small percentage of capitalists hold most of the country’s wealth, while the majority struggle for basic needs.
He accused the BJP of increasing attacks on marginalized communities during its 11-year rule. Wesley said the party uses division for political gain and urged secular groups to unite against rising communal forces.
Highlighting that wars don’t solve problems, Wesley urged youths to focus on understanding the roots of national and global issues, rather than being driven by emotions.
Regarding the Telangana government, he criticized it for failing to fulfill promises due to economic excuses, leaving the poor and marginalized behind.
Wesley called for marginalized communities in Jogulamba Gadwal to unite against upper-caste domination, which continues to exploit them.
Before the meeting, a symbolic bike rally started from Jammiched, ended at Ambedkar Chowk, and included tributes to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Jyotirao Phule. This emphasized the party’s focus on social justice.
The event also allowed leaders from other parties and local organizations to meet Wesley, honor him, and discuss public issues in the district.
Prominent CPM leaders present included R. Sriram Naik, A. Venkataswamy, and others. The turnout of local leaders, activists, and supporters showed strong support for the party in the area.
