Thousands of people came to the city from across the State in lorries and jeeps to take part in the ‘Prajarakshana Bheri’, organised by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) on November 15 (Wednesday).
A group of five people from Narasaraopet in Palnadu district said they came to the meeting to highlight issues plaguing contract employees of the municipalities and corporations.
“Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy had said he would regularise the jobs of municipal contract workers immediately after coming to power. But five years have passed, and we are still waiting to be heard,” they said.
