A spell of Congress-sponsored and possibly aggressive street protests await the government as the Cabinet’s public outreach programme, Navakerala Sadas, enters the Thiruvananthapuram district on Wednesday.
The Congress will muster hundreds of workers to lay siege to 564 police stations across the State on Wednesday. It has activated 1,500 mandalam committees to mobilise five lakh workers across the State for the anti-government demonstrations.
The Congress hopes to up the ante in its stand-off with the government by following up on the police station siege with a mammoth march led by party legislators and MPs to the State Police Chief’s office in the capital on December 23. This protest would dovetail with the culmination of the Cabinet’s Statewide political odyssey, the Navakerala Sadas, in the capital on the same day.
