Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders, who are on a relay hunger strike to protest against the ‘illegal’ arrest of their party President N. Chandrababu Naidu, resorted to a ‘novel’ demonstration by offering Pongallu to Goddess Gangamma Thalli on Sunday.
The 29th day of the protest at the party office marked the presence of more women protesters at the camp, who arranged seven bricks as the Gangamma Thalli. Rice and pulses cooked in pots were offered to the Goddess. Leading the demonstration, former MLA M. Sugunamma said the idea was to invoke a ‘divine intervention’ and drive sense into the ‘authoritarian’ YSRCP government.
