TDP public meeting a huge success despite govt.’s attempts to foil it, says Atchannaidu

Notwithstanding the YSRCP government’s attempts to create hurdles to disrupt our ‘Yuva Galam-Navasakam’ public meeting at Polipalli in Vizianagaram district on December 20, it has turned out to be a massive success, thanks to the cooperation of the people and the functionaries of the TDP and JSP, says TDP State president K. Atchannaidu.

Addressing the media along with party legislator Ganta Srinivasa Rao, former Minister K. Kala Venkata Rao, and district president Palla Srinivasa Rao here on December 21 (Thursday), Mr. Atchannaidu alleged that the YSRCP government had not only declined to give RTC buses on hire but also mounted pressure on the managements of private schools and private travels not provide their buses for the meeting. The autorickshaws hired by the party were stopped by officials of the Road Transport Department for carrying more than five passengers, he said.

Despite the problems created, people came voluntarily in large numbers in tractors, lorries and on foot for the public meeting, he added.
