The Congress will stage Statewide protests coinciding with the birth anniversaries of Dalit icons Jagjivan Ram, Jyotiba Phule and B.R. Ambedkar, from April 5 to 14, against the ‘anti-people’ policies of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government at the Centre and the YSR Congress Party government in the State, according to Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president Sake Sailajanth.
Addressing reporters in Chirala after preparing a roadmap for reliving the civil disobedience movement spearheaded by noted freedom fighter Duggirala Gopalakrishnayya against the British, Mr. Sailajanath said that the situation now was no different as the two governments were vying with each other to impose heavy taxes on the people, making their lives miserable.
