Visakhapatnam, February 6, 2007

The CPM Politburo member and Chairman of Parliamentary Committee on Tourism, Road Transport, Shipping, Ports and Water, Sitaram Yechuri has said at a press conference on Tuesday that the party is not against setting up of Special Economic Zones. However, he said that they are located in non-agricultural lands and a comprehensive relief and rehabilitation package is evolved to the satisfaction of all aggrieved parties.

He opposed provision of blanket concessions to IT majors in Special Economic Zones and urged the Government to reconsider the IT policy to get a fair deal in any agreement with industry majors. He further said that CPM did not have any alliance in the State but only had seat adjustments with the ruling party only to avert division of votes.
