SOUTH-New Trends in Andhra

New Trends in Andhra Mohit Sen THERE are now all the signs that Andhra Pradesh is moving towards a new stage of its political evolution. At the heart of this is the recovery of the Communist movement in the state and the development of the real perspective that in a short period it would again tonic to occupy the place that it had won in the state's politics till the middle fifties. It will be recalled that at that time it had become one of the decisive, political forces capable of crucially influencing developments in the state. It lost that position as a result of bitter inner conflict culminating in a split that divided the movement in the state fairly equally. A decade has passed since then and thenare the twin signs of a certain reunification of the Communist movement as well as the drawing in of new sections into it, especially among the youth and the agricultural labourers.
