CPI launches padayatra in Warangal against BJP policies

The Communist Party of India, also called CPI, is a political party in India.

CPI leaders started a long walking march called a padayatra in Warangal to protest against the policies of the BJP-led central government.

CPI says those policies have hurt ordinary people.

The walk began at Pochamma Maidan in Warangal city and passed through LB Nagar, Gorrekunta and Dharmaram before ending at Geesukonda.

During the march, leaders said the government is selling public companies to private businesses.

They also said prices are rising and jobs are hard to find for young people.

They want a legal guarantee of a minimum price for farmers' crops.

CPI started these marches across the country on August 6 to speak directly with ordinary people.
