A large number of protesters from the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the Jana Sena Party (JSP), activists of student unions, and members of the Andhra University Alumni Association who descended on the university campus to take part in the ‘Chalo Andhra University’ programme were arrested by the police here on Thursday.
The protesters have been agitating for the last few days against Andhra University Vice- Chancellor P.V.G.D. Prasad Reddy “for committing irregularities and turning the campus into a political hub of the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP).
Activists of the Telugu Nadu Students’ Federation (TNSF), who took out a two-wheeler rally near the AU South campus, too were arrested. The JSP activists were arrested near the engineering college campus gate.
