An event to celebrate Sri Krishna Jayanti will be organised in Yadgir on Tuesday with a view to uniting members of the Golla Yadav community and also, urge the State government to address the demands of the community, district president of Golla Yadav Sangh Tayappa Yadav has said.
Addressing a press conference in Yadgir on Saturday, Mr. Yadav said that the population of the community is around 50,000 in the district but it has not been given any importance in State politics.
