CPI leader urges government to address public concerns and honour promises
CPI state secretary M. Veerapandian urged the government to listen to ordinary people during a media interaction in Hosur.
He said it was unfair to expect major changes within four months of a new government taking office, but said officials should not make public policy without hearing people’s concerns.
Veerapandian said the CPI’s support for the TVK was support for democracy, not for a government.
He said workers and public-service groups, including nurses, teachers and sanitation workers, still had unmet needs covered by campaign promises.
He called on the government to honour those promises.
On Hindi wording on medicine covers in government hospitals, he said the CPI opposed any attempt to impose Hindi; the State Health Minister said the covers were procured under the previous DMK government.
