Communist Party of India (CPI) supports bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, announced party general secretary A B Bardhan. He said his party would not hesitate to fully support the bill on formation of separate Telangana state if it is introduced in Parliament.
Addressing the 24th CPI state conference, which began at Circus Grounds here on Tuesday, Bardhan said CPI had changed its ideology on united Andhra in support of Telangana as it is convinced that it is a genuine demand of four crore people of the region. He alleged that both Congress and BJP were duping the people of the region with their false promises on the issue.The CPI veteran said the people are vexed with burgeoning corruption in the country and would teach a fitting lesson to Congress. He said common man is suffering because of the price hike in essential commodities but the government has done precious little to alleviate the problems of the people.
While huge crowds thronged the meeting venue, thousands of party activists from various parts of the state came to attend the four-day conference. The conference will conclude on February 24, with the election of new state body of the party.
