Protests continue in Andhra, Rayalaseema over Telangana | Shutdown and protests against the Centre's decision to give its nod for initiating the process for the formation of a Telangana State continued for the second day on Saturday. Thousands of passengers had a tough time as the
Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) suspended its services
in coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions. Schools, colleges, shops and other
business establishments also remained closed. The fast-unto-death launched by
students besides the relay hunger fast continued in Visakhapatnam . Protesters
have also planned demonstrations in the port city during the day. Cutting across
party lines, 136 MLAs belonging to different political parties handed over their
resignation letters to the State Assembly Speaker N Kiran Kumar Reddy on Friday
in protest against the Centre's decision to initiate the process for the formation
of the Telangana State . The announcement sanctioning a new State has backfired
colossally for the Centre. The Andhra Pradesh Assembly has been adjourned till
Monday following the protests. The Congress, the Telugu Desam and the Praja Rajyam
parties are expected to meet in the evening to decide the future course of agitation. |
