Hyderabad, February 18: The police on Thursday arrested Communist Party of India state secretary K Narayana and Communist party (Marxist) state secretary B V Raghavulu along with their followers at Gun Park when they took out a pada yatra from Makhdoom Bhavan to the state Assembly.
The Communist leaders took out pada yatra demanding introduction of Telangana Bill in the Parliament Session and clearing of reimbursement of fee dues to private engineering colleges and scholarships to reserved category students immediately.
