People's Issues were Raised by SUCI (C) in its Massive Rally

Patna:

Prices of essential commodities, including food items are going up every day. The traders, black marketeers and illegal hoarders are looting common people by enhancing the prices of commodities at their whims, while the state and central government are allowing them to do so.  The people of the state are suffering from the problem of drought and flood. Even they are not getting sufficient relief. Parroting development and good governance the state government is introducing the same anti people policies of the Congress led UPA government in Centre. The electricity has been privatized and its tariffs have been enhanced excessively. Build up by the hard earned money of common people the Bihar State Road Transport Corporation has been handed over to private owners under the name of Public Private Partnership. The fares of buses and autos have been increased excessively. The education and health is in such a condition that these can only be availed if one has sufficient money.

The children from the families of toiling and poor people are not getting education. The health services are out of the reach of the common people. The recruitments in government departments are closed, posts are being removed. It is being done on contract basis. Holding taxes in cities and towns are increased by two times. But there are no civic amenities. The incidents of rape, murder, sexual harassment and atrocities on women are on increase. Youths are migrating in other states in search of job, but they are not able to even lead a life with dignity. As a whole the common people are compelled to live in a suffocating condition.

In such a horrifying situation all the parliamentary parties in the state including Congress, BJP, JD(U) and RJD are badly involved in the game of electoral alliances and different kinds of equations to grab political power leaving behind the issues of common people. But the SUCI (Communist), the only genuine revolutionary party of the toiling people of India is trying its best to build up mass movements on the burning issues of people’s life. In the continuation of building up mass movements in the state the SUCI (Communist) organized a huge demonstration here in Patna on 30^th September 2013 before Chief Minister against sky rocketing price hike; unemployment; rising crimes on women; privatization of education, health, power and transport and for providing sufficient relief to the drought and flood victims and for its permanent solution. The well decorated and large procession of farmers, agricultural labourers, students, youths and women coming from different districts was taken out from Gandhi Maidan. The participants were shouting thunderous slogans against anti people policies of the government and demanded its rollback. On the one hand the anguish of the participants against the anti people policies and the government was clearly experienced and the people standing on the road side were watching the huge procession with deep hope and admiration on the other. Some were seen commenting like- the procession is really on people’s issue. The procession conversed in a big rally at R block after police blocked the procession to march ahead.

Addressing the mammoth gathering at R Block Arun Kumar Singh, senior member, SUCI (Communist) Bihar State Committee said that the people’s problems were not solved through election and through changing the government. He stressed the need to straighten mass movements involving the people of all sections. Presiding over the mass meeting Shiv Shankar, Secretary, SUCI (Communist) Bihar State Committee said that capitalism was unable to solve all the burning problems of day to day life in our society. “Capitalism cannot advance society further”, he asserted and appealed the common people to build up militant mass movements conducive to the anti capitalist socialist revolution. Among others who addressed the meeting were Sadhana Mishra, Arjun Kumar, Lalbabu Mahato, Pramod Kumar, Krishnadeo Sah, Lalit Kumar Ghosh and Uma Shankar Verma, all members, SUCI (Communist) Bihar State Committee. Later a five member delegation submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister.
