The Story in Brief
On Friday, the Communist Party of India (CPI) launched a padayatra in Visakhapatnam as part of its nationwide 'Modi Hatao, Desh Bachao' campaign. Party State Secretariat member J.V. Satyanarayana Murthy led the march from the Alluri Sitarama Raju statue, stating the campaign began on August 6 and will end with a rally at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on September 1.
Murthy accused the Narendra Modi-led government of failing its promises and diverting attention from public issues. He also flagged concerns over the proposed 7.1 GW data centre capacity in north Andhra, alleging it could strain water resources and harm the environment. He urged the state government to review the proposals and called on Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan to clarify his stand.
The Indian Opinion
The CPI's 'Modi Hatao' campaign is a familiar opposition pitch, but linking it to the proposed 7.1 GW data centre in north Andhra adds a local, environmental twist. Whether that connection sticks or is dismissed as opportunism will depend on Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan's response. The real test: does the September 1 Delhi rally draw crowds, and can the CPI substantiate its water-strain claims with data?
