Rayalaseema Steering Committee (RSC) convener Byreddy Rajasekhar Reddy said that though the State was helmed by many Chief Ministers from the Rayalaseema region since independence, none helped the region develop, and the indiscrimination towards it is more evident under the rule of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Speaking at a press conference in Vijayawada on Monday, Mr. Rajasekhar Reddy said that Kurnool, Kadapa, Anantapur, and Chittoor districts are going to suffer due to the Upper Bhadra project taken up by Karnataka. He added that despite sending several representations to Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy, the CM never bothered to take up the issue with the Centre.
“To raise the issue of injustice being meted out to Rayalaseema, RSC is going to lead a ‘Chalo Delhi’ programme on July 28 and stage a protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi,” Mr. Reddy said.
