Patna, August 5:

On state level protest day against bid to privatize power, health, state transport and corporations; administrative corruption, irregularities and anti people policies of the state government SUCI (C) Patna District Committee took out a protest march and burnt the effigy of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar here on Friday.

The protest march started from the statue of Netajee Subhash Chandra Bose and reached Patna Junction roundabout traversing from Fraser Road, All India Radio and Dakbunglow roundabout. The participants were shouting thunderous slogans against the anti people policies of state government.

Addressing the meeting held after burning the effigy Sadhana Mishra, Secretary, Patna District committee, SUCI (Communist) said: The state government is introducing rapidly the policy of privatization, globalization and liberalization following the footprints of anti people Central government. Thousands of posts are laying vacant in government departments but recruitments are about to closed. The process of privatization has been started in power, health and transport sectors. No efforts have been made on the part of the state government to check spiraling price rise. The allotment of lands under BIADA (Bihar Industrial Area Development Authority) to near and dear s of higher government officials and power greedy politicians is unveiling the mask of good governance of Nitish Kumar. Mushrooming of wine shops, introduction of sex education in schools, unbridled show of obscene and blue films are playing role to degrade the cultural-moral standard of people. The crime is also on increase in the state. Murder, loot, kidnapping, ransom asking are going as well. The government is not taking any effective step to stop all these, but on contrary patronizing. The people’s struggle to achieve their legitimate and democratic demands is being suppressed by police force. Suryakar Jitendra, Rajkumar Chaudhary, Anil Kumar and Anamila, all Patna District Committee Members, SUCI (C) spoke on the occasion. All the speakers condemned the anti people policies being followed by the state government and the division of Bihar State Electricity Board (BSES) into five companies opening the door for privatization in power sector as well. They expressed their anguish over increment the rate of electricity second time within six months. They stressed the need to build up democratic mass movements against the anti people policies of Nitish government.
