MANGALORE, Jun 12: The district unit of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has demanded the resignation of Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa with regard to the police firing in Haveri district on Tuesday in which one person was killed.

The party workers staged a protest in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner here on Wednesday to condemn the incident.

‘Acharya should resign’


Addressing the gathering, B. Madhava, secretary of the unit, said that Home Minister V.S. Acharya should also resign.

He said that the incident in Haveri had shown what communal forces could do if given political powers.

Mr. Madhava alleged that the police had resorted to firing without giving any warning.

The BJP was intrinsically a “pro-capitalist party wearing a pro-farmer mask”, he added.

K.R. Shreyan, member of the State unit of the party, alleged that the Chief Minister was busy allocating portfolios to Ministers while farmers were struggling to get fertilisers. By doing so Mr. Yeddyurappa had betrayed farmers, he said. Yashwantha Maroli, Ramachandra Uchil, Vasantha Achari and other leaders of the party were present.

Condemned


The district unit of the Karnataka Prantha Raita Sangha also condemned the incident.

In a press release, its general secretary K. Yadava Shetty claimed that the person who was killed was a farmer.

The Chief Minister has betrayed the farmers in the State, he alleged.

    I will like to ask the same communists what did they do in Nandigram, West Bengal. Here it's totally preplanned protests by other parties in the name of farmers to give a bad image of BJP Govt. I think no one will succeed in this type of politics. Instead of arranging protests if anyone cares for farmers they should have helped farmers to get what they needed. It's only to gain lost political mileage.
