People should question Modi government: TPJAC launches 10-day campaign in Telangana

Hyderabad: Launching a 10-day state-wide campaign for Lok Sabha elections, Telangana People's Joint Action Committee (TPJAC) asked people to question the alleged “anti-people rule and corruption” of the Modi government in the last ten years

TPJAC launched the campaign on May 2 at Bashir Bagh Press Club. It will culminate on May 11. State convener Prof. Haragopal, along with the co-conveners, leaders of various people's organizations, and senior civil society leaders participated.

"Instead of speaking about the real issues and aspirations of the people in the election campaign, the BJP leaders, especially the country's Prime Minister Modi, are referring to issues like Muslims and Mangala Sutras and are sidetracking the discussion." He called upon the people of Telangana to recognize that "in the last ten years, the economy has gone completely bankrupt, unemployment, prices have increased tremendously, people are struggling with the problems of daily life, but ignoring these, Modi is campaigning based on hatred against religion, God and Muslim people," said Prof. Haragopal, TPJAC state convener.

Addressing the meeting, Prof. Rama Melkote criticized that "BJP leaders are completely violating moral values. Even the despicable situation of hundreds of rapes of women by Prajwal Revanna, MP candidate of BJP's partner in Karnataka, has been covered up, and Modi has campaigned for such a person." "The people of Telangana have lived in religious harmony for centuries, but now the BJP leaders are filling that atmosphere with hatred, and people should not be fooled by them," she said.

Telangana Jana Samithi President Prof Kodandaram addressed the meeting and criticized that due to Modi's economic policies, crores of people have become billionaires, looted the country's wealth, the rest of the people are stuck in poverty, and the economic differences in the country have increased. He called upon the people to defeat the BJP completely so that it would not come back to power at the Centre.

In the meeting, Kavitha Kuruganti, the national leader of Bharat Jodo Abhiyan, said that anti-BJP winds are blowing all over the country, especially in North India, and that is why Modi is trying to incite communal hatred. She wanted the BJP to have no place in the South.

TPJAC co-conveners Kanneganti Ravi, Ravichander and Maisa Srinivas said that this campaign will be held all over the state for the next ten days, and in the form of district-wise local yantras, rallies, meetings, press conferences, pamphlets, and posters, we will take the actual situation and the need to oust the BJP government to the people. They appealed to the people of the state to make this campaign a success by saying that the yatra will be held in the joint Mahbubnagar district on May 3 and 4, local yatras will be held in all the remaining districts and meetings will be held in all mandal centers.

Also participating in the inaugural event were prominent educationists Dr. Vanamala, Professor Sukumar, Anishetti Shankar, Women Farmers' Rights Forum leaders Dr. Rukmini Rao, Virasam leaders Ramu, TPJAC Co-Convenor Bannuru Jyoti, Vissa Kiran Kumar, Karunakar Desai, TPJAC city leaders Muttiah, Ramagiri Prakash and others participated in this meeting.
