Privatization of public sector units by BJP government had not only impacted the country’s economy, but also effected the job security of lakhs of employees, he added. He reminded that attacks on dalits and women have increased in BJP government. He alleged that the BJP government was misusing sedition laws against those, who would question its policies.

BJP had no moral right to conduct Telangana Liberation day celebrations, Replying to a question, Veerabhadram said that their party leaders would attend some public meetings of the TRS and also separately conduct two or three public meetings in Munugode assembly constituency. The CPI (M) leaders would separately conduct door to door elections campaign, he added. When his attention was drawn to the statement of the Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao for alliance of TRS, CPI and CPI(M) for the next legislative assembly and Lok Sabha elections, he said that his party’s decision to support TRS candidate in Munugode by-polls was just for now.
The CPI(M) has a tradition to take separate decisions for each elections, he added. Veerabhadram also made it clear that BJP had no moral right to conduct Telangana Liberation day celebrations.
