Jagan supporters warn OU students

                                                           

Activists of the students’ wing of the integrationist YSR Congress on Friday issued a warning to their counterparts at Osmania University for threatening to disrupt the party’s “Samaikya Sankaaravam” in Hyderabad later this month. The YSRC students’ wing leaders led by its city president G. Prasanna Sravanna Kumar symbolically submitted a petition to Mahatma Gandhi with a plea to the apostle of peace to change the minds of OU students. The OU students should understand that meeting was meant to protect the interests of people from Telangana as well Seemandhra.

In Ongole, YSR Congress Prakasam district Convenor Naukasani Balaji exhorted the party cadre from the district to storm the State capital on October 26 to open the eyes of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, who was turning a blind eye to the demand of a majority people of the State for united Andhra Pradesh.

The State Assembly should be convened immediately for adoption of a resolution for keeping the state united, he told a press conference here.

The cadre and leaders of the YSR Congress of the four North Andhra districts are preparing to participate in the ‘Samaikya Sankharavam’ scheduled to be held in Hyderabad on October 26, party’s North Andhra convener Sujay Krishna Ranga Rao has said.

Addressing the media here on Friday, he said the party had arranged four trains — one from each district — to facilitate the cadre to reach Hyderabad. Other modes of transport were also being arranged.

Each constituency in-charge was asked to mobilise 5,000 people for the meeting. The party leaders were confident that the target would be crossed without much effort, he added.

Talking about problems that the Seemandhra region would face in case of bifurcation of the State, he said the Major Irrigation Minister, who hails from Telangana, was obstructing the progress of the Polavaram project, which the Centre wanted to take up as a national project.

“It is unfortunate that the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre is hell bent on dividing the State, ignoring the popular sentiment of the people of the Seemandhra region,” YSRC leader Dadi Veerabhadra Rao said.

The Congress was proving to be ingrate by working against the interests of the people who trusted the party and returned it to power for two consecutive terms, he said.

Even with 42 seats in the Lok Sabha, the State was getting a raw deal. “Once it is divided, who is going to listen to the 17 or 25 members representing the State. The State is being divided as part of a larger conspiracy to weaken it,” he said.
