Andhra Pradesh: CPI stages protest against rising prices

The Communist Party of India (CPI) today staged protest against Centre and Andhra Pradesh government on the issue of rising prices.

The party demanded that both the Central and state governments must take measures to check spiralling prices of essential commodities.

CPI state secretary for Andhra Pradesh K Rama Krishna said, “Both state and Centre failed to check the rising prices of essential commodities.”

He said that the poor and even the middle class are unable to bear the burden (of price rise).

Among others, local CPI leaders D Shankar and Durga Bhavani were present on the occasion.
