CPI Celebrates Centenary with Massive Rally
The Communist Party of India (CPI) had a big celebration for its 100th anniversary in Khammam.
Many people, including workers, farmers, and students, came to the rally.
The party leaders talked about important issues in India and the world.
They said the country is facing problems like a weak rupee and governors interfering in state governments.
The CPI wants to start a campaign to protect democracy and ask for special rights for certain groups in private jobs.
They also want the government to make a report on jobs and industries.
On Republic Day, the party will hoist the national flag and take a pledge to protect the Constitution.
CPI's centenary closing meeting in Khammam saw massive participation from various sections of society.
The party's National Council meeting discussed global imperialist trends and India's political, economic, and social situation.
Nine resolutions were adopted, criticizing the fall in the rupee's value and the Centre's policies favoring corporate interests.
CPI alleged that governors in non-BJP-ruled states are acting arbitrarily and interfering in Assembly proceedings.
The party plans to launch a nationwide campaign against anti-people policies and privatization after the completion of elections in five states.
