Jalandhar, April 3
The CPM opposed the move of the SAD-BJP government to revive the legislative council in the state while holding its convention at Desh Bhagat Yaadgar Hall here today. The revival would put extra burden on the state exchequer, said the party.

The convention was presided over by Tarlochan Singh Rana, Nazar Singh Saidpur, Surjit Gill, Gajjan Singh Duggan and other leaders of the party.

Mangat Ram Pasla, the state secretary of the party, criticised Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and his government for backing out of their commitment to supply ‘atta’ at Rs 4 and pulses at Rs 20 a kg.

He also held the ‘imperialist forces’, the government and the current social set up for ills like steep price hike, unemployment, rampant corruption, devastation of educational and health system and aggravation of the agricultural crisis. He said people were fed up with policies of globalisation, liberalization, and privatization.

The day long convention adopted a 13 point charter of demands, which, pin-pointed the promises made by ruling parties with the masses. They also planned that 1,000 meetings would be organised in villages and cities of Punjab during months of April
and May.
