Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Gidugu Rudra Raju has termed the striking down of the GO. No. 1 by the High Court as “a victory of the people.”
In a statement on Friday, Mr. Rudra Raju said the party had challenged the G.O. in the High Court, and senior counsel Jandhyala Ravi Shankar put up a strong argument on behalf of the party.
He alleged that the YSRCP government was trying to use the G.O. to trample on the rights of the people and stifle the voices of the opposition parties and people’s organisations.
