CPI calls for intensified struggle against BJP government
A group called the CPI held a big meeting in a town called Hanumakonda.
They had just finished a week-long walk to share their message.
The walk started at an old temple and ended at a public garden.
A leader named Palla Venkat Reddy spoke to the crowd.
He said the government is not helping ordinary people enough.
He said the prices of important things are rising too fast.
He said young people cannot find jobs and farmers are not protected.
He also said exam papers have leaked many times, hurting students.
The CPI wants the government to guarantee fair prices for farmers.
They plan to walk through many towns and hold a big rally in Delhi on September 1.
CPI National Secretary Palla Venkat Reddy called for a nationwide movement for political change against the BJP government's alleged anti-people policies.
He addressed a demonstration in Hanumakonda marking the end of a week-long campaign march that began on August 6.
The march started at the Thousand Pillar Temple and passed through Hanumakonda Square before concluding at the Public Garden.
Reddy demanded a legal guarantee for minimum support price, affordable education and healthcare, jobs for every youth, women's reservation, and repeal of the labour codes.
