Left parties call for bandh in Andhra Pradesh over Budget
Left parties in Andhra Pradesh have called for a state-wide bandh on February 8 to protest against the non-allocation of funds to the state in the Union Budget 2018. Stating that the Centre failed to allocate resources promised during the separation of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, CPI(M) leader P Madhu said funds were allocated only to poll-bound states.
