CPI secretary Kunamneni says Modi has 'Trump phobia', slams BJP
In a city called Khammam in India, a political leader named Kunamneni Sambasiva Rao gave a big speech.
He is a leader of the Communist Party of India (CPI) in the state of Telangana.
He said that India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has a 'Trump phobia', meaning he is very scared of the American leader Donald Trump.
He also said the central government run by the BJP party cares more about rich businesspeople than ordinary people.
He claimed the country's wealth is being handed over to big companies.
He believes that only the Communist movement can bring real change to the country.
Another CPI leader, Bagam Hemanth Rao, said the Telangana state government has not kept most of its promises.
He said only the supply of fine rice and free bus travel have been delivered so far.
The leaders spoke at a meeting that ended a series of marches called 'Jana Chaitanya Yatras'.
CPI Telangana secretary Kunamneni Sambasiva Rao accused PM Narendra Modi of developing a 'Trump phobia' at a public meeting in Khammam.
He alleged the BJP-led government works in the interests of a small section of wealthy corporates and is handing over the country's wealth to them.
Kunamneni claimed Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are hesitant to face Parliament and that the BJP government's decline has begun.
He said political change in India is possible only through the Communist movement, though Communists win few seats due to the huge expenditure in electoral politics.
CPI national council member Bagam Hemanth Rao alleged that apart from fine rice supply and free bus travel, none of the Telangana government's major election promises have been fully implemented.
