The Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed in the Andhra Pradesh High Court recently by an all-party committee, backed by TDP’s Hindupur MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna, will come come for hearing in a couple of days, according to committee president Balaji Manohar.
The committee is opposing the decision of the government to make Puttaparthi the district headquarters of the proposed ‘Sri Sathya Sai District’, as it believes that Hindupur, a more than 100-year-old municipality, is ideal for the purpose. Besides, the town is also the headquarters of the Hindupur parliamentary constituency, the committee opines.
Mr. Balakrishna, who was in the town on Sunday to attend the marriage of a TDP leader’s daughter, held discussions with the members of the committee that was spearheading the agitation.
