Khammam,Nov 9: The Communist Party of India's party base would be strengthened at the grassroots by soliciting people’s suggestions and feedback regarding the problems being faced by them, stated Communist Party of India state secretary K Narayana here on Monday.Talking to the media persons in the light of the deliberations of the three-day state council meeting, which started on Sunday,he said the executive committees at district and mandal levels would be revamped by inducting new and young members.He alleged that Hyderabad District Collector Navin Mittal has ordered closure of 240 primary schools to promote the corporate school. He appealed to the government to reopen these schools as poor people, who are unable to meet their children's school expenses, would send their wards to these schools.
