Rich tributes paid to Basheerbagh firing victims in Vijayawada

Left parties have paid tributes to the three youths who died in the police firing at Basheerbagh in Hyderabad in 2000 as they attempted to lay siege to the Assembly building, protesting against power sector reforms imposed by the then TDP government.

On Monday, the Left party leaders paid floral tributes to the slain youths- Ramakrishna, Vishnuvardhan Reddy and Balaswamy in Vijayawada and hailed their sacrifices.

The Left parties urged the people to gear up for another agitation against the power policy of the State by taking inspiration from Basheer Bagh agitation. They gave a call to thwart the ‘anti-people’ policies of the State and Central governments.
