CPI leaders in Tirupati demand transformer, sewage cleaning
Some grown-ups from a political group called the Communist Party of India walked around a neighbourhood called Lenin Nagar.
They wanted to talk about problems in their town.
The town sometimes loses electricity, which means lights and fans stop working.
There is also a drain that is blocked and could overflow with dirty water.
They asked the government to put in a new, stronger machine called a transformer to help electricity stay on.
They also asked for the clogged drain to be cleaned quickly.
The leaders said the government promised things during elections but did not do them.
They said the government promised to stop high prices and corruption and to create jobs.
They also said land was promised to people but never given.
The leaders believe people should be treated fairly, and they want the town to be clean and safe.
CPI district secretary P Murali demanded an additional transformer and urgent cleaning of a clogged sewage drain in Lenin Nagar, Tirupati.
Party leaders conducted a foot march in Lenin Nagar and surrounding areas on Thursday.
Murali accused the Central government of failing election promises on price control, corruption and job creation.
City secretary Viswanath demanded a new transformer for the third division to stop daily power interruptions.
Viswanath said drug abuse has increased in Tirupati since the current administration took office and condemned the lack of sewage drains.
Murali alleged the coalition government favours corporations and has not implemented promised land allotments of three cents in rural areas and two cents in towns.
