Bandi Sanjay to resume yatra from today
The Hindu
Heaps praises on Modi, Shah
Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar will continue his ‘Praja Sangrama Yatra’ from Saturday morning from Yellareddy after taking a day’s break to participate in Telangana Liberation Day celebrations at the party office here and attend the public meeting of Union Home Minister Amit Shah at Nirmal.
Party sources informed that Mr. Shah was very much enthused with the public reception to Mr. Sanjay’s speech especially when he asked people to stand up and applaud to wish Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his birthday. Since it was in Telugu, the Home Minister was initially puzzled till the translation was made after which he gave a broad smile.
In fact, Mr. Shah made a pointed reference to the walkathon and said that it was for bringing succour to the poor and disadvantaged sections of the society “neglected by the TRS regime”.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
