Mangalore, September 18: The members of the District Committee of Communist Party of India (Marxism), took out a rally in the city on Tuesday to oppose what they call anti-people policies of UPA government.
Flagging off the rally B Madhava, District Secretary, said that the diesel price hike would result in increase of prices of various other commodities putting extra burden on farmers.
“Policies of the Central government such as allowing 51 per cent FDI in retail sector, increasing the price of diesel by Rs 5 per litre and limiting LPG gas cylinders at subsidised rates to six in a year severely affect the life of common man,” he said.
He also alleged that opening up the multi-brand retail sector to foreign companies would pose a serious threat to the livelihood to crores of traders and their families, along with putting a burden on the consumers.
Sunil Kumar Bajal, city secretary of CPI (M), Krishnappa Konchady and Vasant Achari, CPI (M) leaders, Jayanthi Shetty and Dayanand Shetty, participated in the rally, which culminated at the city's service bus-stand.
