YSRCP leaders express ire over remarks against CM
The Hindu
They stage protests in front of TDP leaders’ residence, offices in Kadapa and Kurnool
As part of a State-wide agitation condemning the TDP leaders’ criticism and remarks against Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, YSR Congress activists staged a sit-in in front of the residential premises of senior TDP leaders across Rayalaseema on Tuesday.
In Kadapa, the party cadre reacted strongly to TDP senior leader V.S. Ameer Babu when he called the government ‘minority drohi’ and Muslim leaders representing the YSR Congress mobbed the residence of Mr. Ameer Babu and staged a protest against what they called a ‘meaningless remark’.
“Minorities are getting a lot under this regime and this allegation is unfounded,” they said, demanding Mr. Ameer Babu to withdraw his comment and tender an unconditional apology to the government.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
