Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders and party workers held a meeting in protest against what they called ‘unjustified’ demolition of the compound wall of the house of former Minister and TDP Polit Bureau Member Ch. Ayyanna Patrudu, at Narsipatnam in Anakapalli district on Monday.
The meeting was held as part of the ‘Chalo Narsipatnam’ protest, organised by the TDP in support of Mr. Patrudu. TDP leaders and party workers reached Mr. Patrudu’s house from the city and other parts of the district. It was, however, learnt that local leaders from various mandals of Narsipatnam were taken into preventive custody
Though a joint survey was planned on Monday reportedly on the plea of the family members of Mr. Patrudu, it was not taken up as the Andhra Pradesh High Court has issued interim orders not to go ahead with the demolition, pending its final verdict.
