CPIML is contesting Lok Sabha Elections 2019)  

BIHAR

Arrah and the Battle For Democracy

But the then General Secretary Comrade Vinod Mishra and peerless leader of the Bhojpur revolution Comrade Ramnaresh Ram continued to lead the expansion and impact of the CPI(ML). The Party expanded its work in various areas of struggle. The 80s were witness to the formation of a popular peoples political front (IPF) and an unprecedented peasants movement in Bihar. The CPI(ML) was active on the electoral front under the banner of the IPF. They carried out a struggle for the right of the poor to vote, and in 1989 Comrade Rameshwar Prasad, from a poor very backward community, entered Parliament by winning the Ara Lok Sabha seat. Rameshwar Prasad also won the Sandesh Assembly seat in Bhojpur twice. Ramnaresh Ram, whom the feudal landlords had prevented from winning the 1967 Assembly election by booth-capturing and attacking his election agent Jagdish Master, won the Assembly seat after 28 years by a thumping margin and no one could defeat him thereafter during his lifetime. These two leaders fought for the same issues inside Parliament and Assembly for which they used to organise and mobilise the people for struggles on the streets and in the villages. Even today their names are a by-word for commitment to the people.

The CPI(ML) candidate for Ara (Bihar) in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Raju Yadav is the inheritor of this glorious tradition of struggle. Raju Yadavs native village Gorpa is close to Ekvari village in Sahar Block from where the Bhojpur movement started. Raju was born here as the second child of Kusum Kunwar and Ramtavakya Singh. He has two sisters, Ramawati Devi and Sitasundar Devi.

Rajus father Ramtavakya Singh was a CPI(ML) activist. He was well-known among Party activists and supporters as RT Singh. He was a jawan in the Indian army. During those days the CPI(ML) was an underground Party. In that underground phase, Party General Secretary Vinod Mishra was known to Party activists and supporters as Raju Ji. It was after him that RT Singh named his son Raju. Rajus father passed away due to an illness when Raju was still a child.

He studied from Std III to Matric at the Hitnarayan Kshatriya School in Ara. After Inter from Maharaja College, BA from Jain College and MA from Veer Kunwar Singh University, he studied law from Maharaja Law College, Ara. During his student days, Raju decided to follow in his fathers footsteps and walk the political road.

Raju Yadav began his political journey in the year 2000. He became a member of the student organisation All India Students Association (AISA), and was made the Ara City Coordinator of AISA. A year later in 2001 he became the AISA District President. He became a member of the CPI(ML) Ara City Committee in 2002 and a member of the District Committee in 2005. From 2007 to 2011 he discharged his responsibilities as AISA Bihar State President. In 2012 he became the State President of the Revolutionary Youth Association (RYA).

In 2016 he was elected a member of the CPI(ML) State Committee and in the same year he became a member of the National Executive Council of the All India Kisan Mahasabha. At the 10th Party Congress held at Mansa, Punjab in 2018 he was made a member of the CPI (ML) Central Committee. Thus, in his political journey of 19 years he has discharged important leadership responsibilities on student, youth, and farmer fronts.

He has also had valuable experience in electoral battles. In 2010 he first stood for election from the Badhara Assembly constituency in Bhojpur. In 2010 he was the CPI(ML) candidate from the Sandesh Assembly constituency. In the 2014 Lok Sabha election, despite sharp polarization between the BJP and RJD, Raju Yadav as the CPI(ML) candidate polled about 1 lakh votes. In 2019 the Party has once again fielded him as the Lok Sabha candidate from Ara. This time he has the support of the RJD and the Mahagatbandhan.

He is fighting this election as a representative of the Bhojpur movement and its inherent dreams and as a trusted voice against the autocratic, pro-corporate politics of feudal-communal-casteist frenzy, loot, and lies practiced by the Modi-BJP-Sangh government. Voters who truly aspire for social justice, equity, harmony, freedom and development are mobilising themselves in his support.

Raju Yadav has been especially popular among students, youth, teachers, farmers, workers, and working women. He led several successful movements on students issues. He led the agitation and hunger strike after which Veer Kunwar University was given UGC recognition. Through struggles, he ensured the implementation of reservation on all levels at the University. He led struggles to prevent the closure of Maharaja Law College and to guarantee implementation of reservation rules. When fees were being hiked by educational institutions across the country, he led the struggle at Veer Kunwar Singh University to ensure that fees were not hiked there. He led protests under the banners of AISA and RYA to fight decisive battles against the abysmal conditions in hostels for dalit students and against attacks by Ranveer Sena goons on poor and dalit students after the killing of Brahmeshwar Mukhiya.

Raju Yadav was in the frontline of the countrywide Bekhauf Azadi (Fearless Freedom) movement. He has been part of every struggle in Bhojpur against incidents of sexual violence and atrocities on women. He has led struggles for punishment to the guilty in cases of rapes and gang rapes of minor girls and mahadalit women. He played a leading role in agitations by ASHA workers, Rasoiyas, Sevikas, and other scheme workers and the statewide agitation against the horrifying Muzaffarpur Shelter Home incident.

He also led movements on the issues of irrigation, water supply through canals, diesel grant, crop loss compensation, and paddy purchase. He had sat on an indefinite hunger strike at Ara on these issues. Raju Yadav has always been a part of struggles for basic facilities like electricity, roads, health and education. His presence is always visible in protests at Bhojpur and Ara against criminal incidents and murders.

The BJP-Sangh has constantly attempted to fan communal flames in the Bhojpur region. Raju Yadav as a CPI(ML) leader has always worked to foil these evil designs of the Sangh, be it the conspiracy to incite communal frenzy in the name of cow at Raniganj or attempts to instigate riots at Gadhani and Sahar. Generally, political parties shy away from such issues in the name of majoritarianism but protests against communal attacks on minorities is also an issue of social justice, and Raju Yadav has always fought for this.

Raju Yadav is immensely popular across all sections due to his struggles for unemployed youth, students, dalits, backward sections, poor, working classes, farmers, workers, and women. It is not an over-exaggeration to say that he is the hope of progressive-democratic people. He is with the people in their sorrows as well as their joys. In contrast to the bureaucratic attitude of BJP candidate RK Singh, people feel Raju Yadav to be a member of their family. He represents peoples power as against the wealth power which is being used so lavishly in the elections. He is the true inheritor of the peoples democratic political tradition where elections are fought with the support of the people and the candidate, after getting elected, works in the interests of the people.

Raju Yadav is a product of the Left democratic political movement for social, political and economic change. He is a representative face of this movement, and he is not alone. A long line of young people committed to changing the anti-people character of governments and society is with him; they have come up as peoples leaders from among the dalit, marginalised, backward and poor sections of society. This is the priceless contribution of the Bhojpur movement. It is through this movement that a Chintu Kumari, daughter of poor landless parents, becomes the General Secretary of JNUSU, and dozens of youth leaders like Manoj Manzil, Shiv Prakash Ranjan, Qayamuddin Ansari and Ajit Kushwaha are leading the fight to change the socio-political structure in the country. This is Bhojpur, about which peoples poet Baba Nagarjun wrote in his poem Bhojpur:

Bhagat Singh has been reincarnated
Heres the place
Heres the very place
Chandrashekhar Azad is also reborn
Heres where we can find Vaikunth Shukla
And somewhere here too is Bagha Jateen.

At present the battle is on the election front. In this battle it is Raju Yadav versus the fascist forces which stand for hate, frenzy, injustice, oppression, inequality, and massacres. The greater the number of representatives to reach Parliament against these fascist forces, the stronger will become the fight to protect and strengthen the countrys Constitution and democracy. We have every hope that the people of Ara will send a peoples democratic voice to Parliament against a pro-corporate Manuvadi dispensation.

Siwan Resists 'Yogi Model' In Comrade Amarnath Yadav's Leadership

The CPIML candidate from Siwan (Bihar) is Comrade Amarnath Yadav.

Born in Kavilpura, Hussainganj, Siwan District, 53 year old Comrade Amarnath Yadav is a member of the CPI(ML) State Committee and the State Vice President of the Bihar State Kisan Sabha. He was elected MLA from the Darauli Assembly constituency in 1995, polling about 36,000 votes and defeating Rural Development Minister in the RJD government Shivshankar Yadav by more than 14,000 votes. Earlier also, he has fought from the Siwan Lok Sabha constituency as the CPI(ML) candidate, where he polled 2.55 lakh votes in 1999.

Comrade Amarnath did not receive much school education but he has got a thorough schooling in lifes struggles. His father was a poor farmer. Working among workers and farmers, he came into contact first with the CPI and then with the CPI(ML). He became a member of the CPI(ML) in 1982 and started organizing the poor. Very soon he became a member of the CPI(ML) sub-zonal committee and the Siwan District committee. He was a leading figure in the Indian People's Front and the Bihar State Kisan Sabha in Siwan.

While leading peoples struggles, he was jailed for five month in 1985. He was seriously injured in the brutal police firing at Krishnapali (Mairwa Block) in 1989. During that period, he was implicated in about a dozen false cases with the connivance of the dominant forces-police nexus. Immediately after he won the 1995 election he was thrown into jail under a false case. He was released after he remained in jail for 33 months. This pattern still continues today, with many other ML leaders jailed for false cases in the course of struggles against feudal forces. Comrade Amarnath courageously led the peoples struggles against criminal don from Siwan, RJD MP Shahabuddin, who was backed by feudal forces.

Comrade Amarnath Yadav is a beloved peoples leader from Siwan District. He is the voice of the poor, dalits, backward castes and minorities, and has always been true to the tradition of sacrifice and struggle for the people.  

With Gorakhpur next door, Yogi Adityanath and his Hindu Yuva Vahini is trying hard to make inroads in Siwan. In fact the NDA candidate from Siwan, Kavita Singh, is the wife of a notorious feudal-criminal Hindu Yuva Vahini leader Ajay Singh. Amarnath Yadav and the CPIML boldly lead the effort to protect Siwan from these vicious communal forces and defend the rights of minorities. The CPIML is also the only party which has taken up the cause of innocent Muslim youth of Bihar falsely implicated in terror cases by the NIA.  

Comrade Amarnath Yadav is today the most trustworthy and popular leader in the ongoing effort to keep feudal and communal forces out of Siwan and Bihar.

Comrade Kunti: Jehanabad's Revolutionary Leader

Comrade Kunti Devi is the CPI(ML) candidate for the Jehanabad constituency of Bihar in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. She enjoys great respect in the area as a legendary leader of the struggles of the landless Dalit and extremely backward poor.

Kunti was born in the village of Isse Bigaha  - a hamlet - tola - with a population of Bind and Kahar extremely backward communities in the year of 1967, when the thunder of spring resonated from Naxalbari.

Kunti is the eldest of seven children born to Somariya Devi and Buddhadev Bind, a committed CPI leader of his times. She had two younger brothers and four younger sisters. Her father was a Block-level leader in the CPI, had passed Matriculation, and had a bit of land which he cultivated.

Kunti was not sent to school although she evinced a keen interest in studies and there was a school nearby on land donated by her father. In those days, it was not the practice in this Tola to educate girls. Having the responsibility for five daughters, her father married her off in her childhood in village Sarkanda near Bharatpura in Patna District.

Bistoul and Kumhawa are two neighbouring villages with a dominant population of Rajputs who perpetrated cruel repression on the poor of these villages as well as other nearby villages. The poor of Isse Bigaha were united against this repression, and along with them Kunti too was inspired to join the CPIML which was organising the struggles for land, wages and dignity. She made her mark as a leader, organising women to resist police repression at a time when the police acted as an arm of the feudal forces.

In 1980, Kunti became a whole time activist of CPIML at a time when few women could do so. In the process she had to overcome resistance from her family members, leading to her separation from her first husband.
In 1983 Kunti led the struggle against the notorious Arwal police firing and massacre which took place in April 1983 and reminded the country of the April 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre. In 1986 she went to Tekari (Gaya) where the terror of the MCC was rampant. She was with Comrade Vidrohi when he blackened the face of Bhagwat Jha Azad in Damuha-Khagri. She was arrested but released after being detained in the Thana. In 1989 she once again came to work in Arwal.

In 1985 when the Janwadi Mahila Manch (todays All India Progressive Womens Association AIPWA) was founded, Kunti became the District Secretary. She was in the front line of women leaders in the Magadh region, along with Meena, Mahendri, Savitri, Sheela, Samphul, Shanti, Kalavati, and above all, her friend and comrade Manju Devi who was later killed by the Ranveer Sena.

Kunti was the IPF-CPI(ML) Assembly election candidate in 1990 (Makhdumpur), February 2005 (Ghoshi) and and October 2005 (Jehanabad). She has also been on the IPF and AIPWA State Committees. In 2003 she was elected District Councilor from Jehanabad-Part 2. In 2004 she became a member of the CPI(ML) State Committee.

Comrade Kunti has faced imprisonment, cases, and death threats, but she is the strong face of the revolutionary womens movement in Bihar who has never been bothered by such adversities. Kunti, born in 1967, is a symbol of the revolutionary spring thunder in the true sense of the term. She is a powerful reminder that the women of oppressed communities of rural India should not be seen as victims needing 'uplift' but as leaders of the struggles for social transformation.

Karakat Rallies With Comrade Rajaram Singh

CPI(ML) candidate for the Karakat (Bihar) Lok Sabha seat Comrade Rajaram Singh was born on 27 March 1958 at village Akauni in Aurangabad District. During his school days when the Bihar student movement started in 1974, he joined the movement and became a popular student leader. Later, he took admission in the Bihar College of Engineering (Patna University). In 1982-83, while he was a student of Civil Engineering, Girindra Kumar, a student of BN College at Patna University was thrown from the terrace by the CRPF and killed. This caused the students to erupt in anger and Rajaram Singh led the movement against this incident under the banner Chhatra Sangharsh Morcha.

Comrade Rajaram has been associated with the Party movement since 1971. He took part in the students National Coordination Committee meeting at Madras led by Comrade Ganeshan. On returning to Bihar, he became the President of the Creative Students Union and later of the All Bihar Students Union. He was the Founder President of the Revolutionary Youth Association (RYA).

In 1982 he became a member of the IPF National Council and subsequently held the posts of Patna District Secretary and IPF Office Secretary at Delhi, and was the IPF in-charge of Punjab, Rajasthan, and Delhi.

In 1990 he represented India in Nepal at the invitation of the Communist Party of Nepal (Marxist-Leninist) Youth Association in the presence of renowned CPN(ML) leaders Madan Bhandari and Jeevraj Ashrit. When the Bathe massacre happened and the last rites of the 72 martyred comrades were going on, Comrade Rajaram along with Comrade Vinod Mishra organized a meeting there. Around the same time, riminals on horseback protected by feudal forces perpetrated the mass carnage n the ravines of Diyara in Khagariya District. Comrade Rajaram was part of the CPI(ML) fact-finding team to enquire into the incident and visited the area. Incessantly leading and participating in struggles for the issues and problems of the people of his area, he evinced ideological, political and organizational skills and established himself as a strong CPI(ML) leader and speaker. He first fought elections as a candidate from the Obra Assembly constituency in 1985. He represented this constituency as MLA from 1995 to 2005. The people of this region remember him even today for the development work that he did as their representative MLA. So much so, that even his political opponents acknowledge his good work. People here cannot forget his contribution as an MLA to the Son canal movement, construction of four big bridges, construction of gully, nali and roads from villages to the city, construction of the Town Hall, construction of bridge and road from Shankarpur to Powerganj station, and passing of the railway line from Barun to Bihata. While he was MLA, he organized development conferences where he presented his report card amongst tens of thousands of people. The model that he presented as a peoples representative is worthy of being followed. It speaks of his immense popularity that he is fighting the Lok Sabha election as the Party candidat for the 10th time. When Chhotu Kushwaha (Mukhiya) was killed on 2 May 2012 by notorious criminal and Ranveer Sena cohort Sunil Pandey, Comrade Rajaram led the upsurge of peoples anger and led the 30,000-40,000 strong peoples protest at the Aurangabad Collectorate. The police unleashed a brutal lathi charge on the protesters and the then SP Siddharth Gautam himself attempted to kill Comrade Rajaram. Hundreds of people were injured in this agitation. Comrade Rajaram Singh was thrown into jail. An Aurangabad Bandh was organized on 4 May, followed by an entire Bihar bandh. From jail he wrote a letter addressed to the people which was read out during the rally at Bhojpur on 17 May. Later, the Human Rights Commission acted against this brutal atrocity and fined the SP Rs 1 lakh. This was the first time in the history of Bihar that such an action was taken. Last year when BJP supporters broke down the statue of Lenin in Tripura, Comrade Rajaram went to the place and addressed Press conferences at Agartala and Delhi along with CPM MPs.

At present Comrade Rajaram Singh is the General Secretary of the All India Kisan Mahasabha and a member of the working group of the Akhil Bharatiya Kisan Sangharsh Samanvay Samiti. Thus, he is at the forefront of the ongoing countrywide farmers struggle and was one of the leaders of the historic Delhi March by farmers. Today the people of this region wish for a rejuvenation of the canals on the Son River (the life-line of this region), construction of the Indrapuri reservoir, and a movement in Parliament as well as on the streets for the construction of the Aurangabad-Bihata railway line. In recent times, Comrade Rajaram Singh has stood firmly with the struggles of workers, daits, women, minorities, Anganwadi and other scheme workers, and today he seeks your support and cooperation in the fight to save our country, Constitution, and democracy and defeat the BJP-JD(U) alliance in this Lok Sabha election.

JHARKHAND

Rajkumar Yadav: The Voice Of People's Movements

The CPI(ML) candidate from Kodarma, Rajkumar Yadav, was born in October 1970 in the Gawan region of Giridih District of undivided Biihar. Gawan, now in Jharkhand borders Bihars Nawada District. In the 1980s this area was notorious for the rampaging criminal gangs who had cast a web of fear through a series of kidnappings and murders. Against this rose a spontaneous movement against the criminal gangs. As a young boy who had just passed his matriculation examinations Com. Rajkumar was a part of this movement and was arrested in 1986 in what was going to be the first of a series of false cases against him.

But like many revolutionaries, his time in Giridih jail was to be a life-changing experience for him. In jail he met Comrade Mahendra Singh, the legendary communist leader and popular CPIML MLA of Bagodar. From him, Comrade Rajkumar learnt about the history and movement of CPIML and IPF. He became Comrade Mahendra Singhs most trusted comrade in the struggle against the highhandedness of jail authorities and for better treatment of prisoners. Mahendra Singh was released in 1988 but Comrade Rajkumar continued to read communist literature in jail. After he was released in March 1993, he formally joined the CPIML.

Comrade Rajkumar contested his first election in the 1995 Assembly elections from Rajdhanwar in which he got 7000 votes. He continued his struggle against the terror of criminal gangs, for the rights of workers and farmers and corruption in the administration. In August 1995 he was again jailed for two and a half years. In the first elections to the Jharkhand Assembly in the year 2000, on the strength of the consistent movements he led in the area, he lost the Rajdhanwar Assembly seat by a slender margin of 1700 votes.

The first few years of the new state of Jharkhand were tumultuous. The state which was formed with the hopes providing the people of the state control over their resources was soon dashed and the ruling BJP Government under Babulal Marandi turned into a regime of loot and plunder of Jharkhands precious natural resources. The bogey of Maoism was used to silence, target and arrest those who were protesting the regime of loot and plunder. In Rajdhanwar, Comrade Rajkumar was at the forefront of the movement against the witch-hunt of activists in the name of cracking down on Maoists. The party, during the same time also launched a powerful movement in the area against feudal threats which prevented Dalits from casting their votes, and against bonded labour. In the course of this movement, more than 400 bonded labourers were freed. But as a result Comrade Rajkumar became a target for feudal forces and the State.

On 22nd January 2003, while leading a protest at the Markacho Police Station against growing crime in the area, the police under Babulal Marandis orders opened fire on the protestors in which 4 comrades were killed and Comrade Rajkumar who was the target had a narrow escape. In Telodih village in Rajdhanwar, a police constable died in an accident, and using this as a pretext the police unleashed severe repression in the village. The villagers, most of them Muslims, left the village for fear of being arrested. Comrade Mahendra Singh along with Comrades Rajkumar Yadav and Mustaqim Ansari mobilized the villagers and stood up to the reign of terror of the police and ensured the return of villagers.

Again in 2004 Comrade Rajkumar was jailed and contested the Lok Sabha elections from jail, getting 1,37,000 votes. After the assassination of Comrade Mahendra Singh, Comrade Rajkumar again lost the Rajdhanwar Assembly election by a narrow margin of 4000 votes. The exploitation of mica mine workers had become a huge issue in the area and Comrade Rajkumar was again in the forefront of this movement.

In the 2009 Lok Sabha elections he lost the Kodarma seat by 40,000 votes to Babulal Marandi, by then a JVM candidate. In 2014, despite the Modi wave, he polled second in the Kodarma Lok Sabha with more 2, 66,000 votes and lost to the BJP candidate Ravindra Rai. Marandi, the sitting MP from Kodarma, did not even dare contest in 2014, but the candidate from JVM polled a distant third, and later went over to BJP. In the 2014 Assembly elections Comrade Rajkumar defeated JVM's Babulal Marandi by more than 10,000 votes.

As an elected MLA, he has consistently been the voice of various peoples movement in the Jharkhand Assembly. In the Assembly he exposed the staged surrender of more than 450 supposed Maoists. The 'Maoists', it turned out, were young men paid by the police to enact in a scene of surrender. He has been a powerful voice of protest in the Assembly against the dilution of SNPT and CNPT laws as well as the hunger deaths in Jharkhand and the issue of para-teachers. In his constituency his initiatives have led to providing drinking water in villages populated largely by dalits and adivasis, the repair and rebuilding of major roads. From his own MLA funds he has provided Rs 1 lakh for every high school to purchase new books for the library.

In the 2019 LS elections, he is contesting once again as the candidate of CPIML from Kodarma Lok Sabha. He is up against Annapurna Devi of BJP, who till two weeks ago was the State President of RJD in Jharkhand and was giving speeches against Modis Chowkidari, and against Babulal Marandi whom he defeated in the previous Assembly elections and 6 out 8 of whose elected MLAs have already joined the BJP. The BJP, fearing defeat by CPIML, even denied a ticket to its sitting MP Ravindra Rai and had to import a candidate from another party.

A victory for the CPIML and Rajkumar Yadav on the Kodarma seat will be a powerful blow to the fascist BJP and a fitting rebuff to the political opportunists who betray the struggles for social justice, people's rights, and emancipation of the oppressed.

Comrade Sushma Mehta and CPI(ML) Struggles in Palamu

Sushma Mehta, CPI(ML) candidate for the Palamu (SC) Lok Sabha seat, is a 40 year old dedicated and committed leader. As a popular leader, she won the election for District Council member in 2011 and went on to become the President of the District Council. She is a resident of Korta village in Danda Block, Garhwa District, and has been educated up to the Inter level. At present she is a member of the CPI(ML) State Committee and a Jharkhand State level AIPWA leader and Garhwa Division in-charge.

On 21 January 2012 adivasis organized a dharna at Badgad village in Bhandariya Bllock, Garhwa District against the police beating of adivasi Mukhiya Ramdas Minj and to demand the construction of a Health Centre at a place acceptable to the adivasis. Comrade Sushma was also invited to the dharna. Notification of this was given to the police and to the administration and yet no arrangements were made for her security. On the way, Comrade Sushma was kidnapped by Maoists. Actually, the Maoists were also preparing for an attack on the police picket which was proceeding towards the dharna venue for repressive action. Comrade Sushma faced this situation with courage and patience and spoke with her kidnappers, as a result of which they released her after 5 days.

The CPI(ML) has been waging relentless was against feudal dominance in the Palamu-Garhwa region. Our Party is known in the Palamu Lok Sabha constituency as one that stands up and fights against attacks on any section of the people. Last year, the sand mafia in Bishnupura Block killed the members of a Yadav family. It was the initiative taken by the CPI(ML) which led to the arrest  of the feudal elements responsible for this crime. MLA Rajkumar Yadav addressed a huge rally which the Party organised in that region and also met and reassured the affected family. Apart from this, the Party has also raised its voice against half a dozen killings by criminal elements. The criminals secured the protection of the ruling powers, but the campaign and struggles of the CPI(ML) made it clear to the people that the BJP MLA was shielding and saving the criminals.

Our intervention against starvation deaths in this region has also proved effective. Attempts were made to crush this struggle though false cases against our leaders. Struggles have also been carried on in many villages against illegal capture of adivasis lands. Our Party and our candidate Comrade Sushma Mehta have been closely associated with the struggles of the mid-day meal cooks in Palamu.

The Party and its student organization AISA have also raised their voice strongly on student issues. We have fought successful battles on the issue of forest land pattas in many villages. We have also campaigned strongly to demand that the first use of water from rivers in Palamu Division should be for a solution to the drought problem in this region. We have carried out campaigns for a solution to the acute water problem faced by the people. The Partys vociferous articulation against the inc
