Nirmal: The CPI has called for the immediate withdrawal of the Central government’s alleged plan to dismantle “Red Flag” parties. Kalaveni Shankar, a party leader, voiced these concerns at the 4th CPI State Conference in Nirmal district on Sunday. He criticized the government’s “Operation Kagar” announcement, suggesting it unfairly targets a particular political group. He stressed that political issues should be settled through discussion, not by trying to eliminate a party.
Shankar highlighted the CPI’s 100-year history, having been established in 1925 in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. The party continues to champion the rights of the poor and workers in 32 states across India. He accused the Central government of privatizing public sector units intended to boost underdeveloped areas, which he said increases unemployment. He urged every CPI member to work on strengthening the party.
CPI district secretary S Vilas mentioned that Nirmal previously had a PG college that benefited tribal and underprivileged students. He revealed it was relocated to Warangal due to political reasons. He declared that the CPI would engage in a vigorous campaign to bring the college back and would keep protesting until the college is reinstated.
Prominent leaders such as SN Reddy, Bhukya Ramesh, K Ravi, Padma Kumari, Kailas, Sai, B Shivaji, Lachanna, Abdul Maseed, G Gopi, T Prakash, S Kumar, along with union leaders, workers, and activists, attended the conference.
