I pay my respectful homage to the memory of the great militant working class leader Comrade B.T.Ranadive, founder President of CITU, on his 21st death anniversary. Com. BTR was one of the brilliant theoretician as well as a mass leader of the toiling masses who analysed each and every situation critically and stood like a rock against all attacks from the ruling classes. He was a member of the Politburo of the CPI(M) since its formation in 1964. He died on 6th April 1990.

We will always get inspiration from the memory of Comrade BTR to continue our work and march forward to protect the interests of the working class.
