Press Statement:

The Secretariat of the Communist Party of India severely condemned the cabinet sub committee’s decision to increase the gas price from $ 4.2 to $ 8.4. This is done only to favour Reliance Gas of Mukhesh Ambani. This is a hundred per cent increase and will have very serious effect on power tariff and prices of fertilizers along with CNG. Petroleum Minister Sri Veerappa Moily is responsible for this surrender of the Government. This will bring windfall profits to some companies like Reliance. This decision goes against the interest of the nation, as price rise will be a chain reaction. CPI demands withdrawal of the decision immediately. CPI and Left will agitate against this decision of the cabinet sub committee.

Suravaram Sudhakar Reddy, Ex. MP
General Secretary,
Communist Party of India.

CPI leader A.B. Bardhan on a non-Congress non-BJP coalition

In a written statement, veteran CPI leader A.B. Bardhan said, “Only a non-Congress non-BJP coalition, which pursues credible alternative policies on people’s issues, which steers the country on a Left and democratic course, is the need of the hour. Such a programme-based coalition government can emerge through struggles and may be after the polls. Only such a front can provide a viable alternative to the present dispensation. The Left parties are working towards that end.”
