Gadwal: The Communist Party of India (CPI) has criticized the growing focus on religious politics in India. They argue it harms the nation and slows progress. During the 3rd CPI Gadwal Mandal Conference, held at the CPI Office in Gadwal, CPI District Secretary B. Anjaneyulu spoke strongly against these trends.
Anjaneyulu accused the Modi government of supporting big corporations like Adani and Ambani with huge financial benefits, while imposing heavy taxes on workers. He stated that those who truly create wealth are unfairly burdened by policies that favor the rich.
He highlighted that 80% of India’s income is controlled by a small group of wealthy industrialists. This, he said, worsens economic problems and increases inequality. Anjaneyulu blamed the BJP for using religion to divide people for political gains, which he believes doesn’t help national growth.
In discussing the challenges faced by the Nagarkurnool-Gadwal area, Anjaneyulu demanded the completion of unfinished infrastructure projects. He noted that the new districts, despite having new administrative divisions, still lack essential facilities and staff, which hinders effective governance. He called on the Telangana government to provide special funds for these districts.
As the CPI celebrates its 100th year, Anjaneyulu urged members to remember the party’s history and educate others about its goals and successes. He encouraged participation in the upcoming CPI Gadwal District 3rd Maha Sabha on August 7th and 8th.
During the conference, a new CPI Mandal Committee was chosen. Khaseem was re-elected as Mandal Secretary, with Venkatesh, Venkataramudu, and Khadar Pasha as Assistant Secretaries. Seven members joined the Executive Committee, and fifteen were elected to the Mandal Council.
The event drew several notable CPI and trade union figures, including AITUC District Secretary G. Ranganna, Agricultural Labour Union President Ashanna, and AIYF leader Venkatesh. Their attendance highlighted the solidarity among left-leaning groups in tackling both local and national challenges.
