CPI state secretary Narayana has demanded as to why IPS officer Naveen was suspended from his duties. He said ASP Naveen raided the ganja smuggling and brought criminal activities in the district into the light. Further, Narayana appealed to the government to conduct a judiciary probe on the issue failing which, he said, it would be taken for granted that government was involved with ganja smuggling.  He has also demanded to revoke the suspension orders of Naveen.

Talking on proposed petro hike, Narayana told government to not to go ahead with the proposal to increase the prices of petrol and diesel. He said CPI would hold state wide protests in case government increases fuel prices.
