CPI State assistant secretary J.V. Satyanarayana Murthy has demanded that the Centre immediately drop the move of withdrawing its stake in the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) and handing over the plant to the POSCO.
Addressing the media here on Thursday, Mr. Murthy recalled that when the VSP was on the verge of being referred to the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) in 1998-99 fiscal year, freedom fighters Patti Seshayya and Bairagi had prepared for taking a ‘Jala Samadhi’. The struggle had not only prevented the VSP of being referred to the BIFR but also saw the plant earning profits in the subsequent years.

Party plans a similar event in Srikakulam district
CPI State secretary K. Ramakrishna on Monday urged farmers and people to extend support to the farmers who have planned a tractor rally in Delhi on the Republic Day, as part of their protest against the three farm laws.
Addressing the media and a roundtable here, Mr. Ramakrishna alleged that the Narendra Modi government was trying to show the agitation launched by farmers in a poor light. “The Centre is hiding the fact that the commoner will be benefited if the new laws are revoked, leading to control of the prices of essential commodities,” he said.
