It was a good opportunity to attend and address the 3rd Circle Conference of A.P. Circle, BSNLEU. Myself and Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, BSNLEU reached at about 1930 hours yesterday, 27th December at Hyderabad Airport from Delhi. Our Comrades Anil Kumar and friends were waiting at the Airport and we started directly for Vijayawada where the conference will be held. We reached Vijayawada at about o300 hours, in the early morning of 28th.

The Conference started at 1030 hours with the flag hoisting. There were a lot of comrades who wore the red uniform will BSNLEU symbol. About 800 or more delegates were present. We were received with shouting of slogans.

Com.B.V.Raghavulu. CITU leader and state Secretary CPI(M) inaugurated the Conference. He spoke about issues of national and international importance. Then I spoke on the BSNL and workers issues. Since I have to reach to Kokata today itself, I left after the morning session.

A.P. Circle has got maximum number of employees than other circles and BSNLEU members also are maximum here. The organisation is well-functioning under the capable and militant leadership of Coms. J.Sampath Rao, Circle Secretary, P.Asokababu, Dy.GS, P.Mohan Reddy, Circle President and other leaders.  I place my appreciation for all of them for the excellent functioning and arrangements.
