Telangana Nagara Samithi chairman and Nagarkurnool MLA Nagam Janardhan Reddy will launch his Telangana Bharosa Yatra on November 26.
Addressing a press conference here, Janardhan Reddy said that the Yatra would begin on November 26 at Achampet in Mahabubnagar district and conclude on December 6 in Hyderabad. He said that the Yatra was primarily aimed at sending a strong message to the youth of the region that they were not alone. Over 11 days, he said he would be addressing over 80 meetings and extensively interact with the people across the 10 Telangana districts.
The Nagarkurnool MLA said that only a sustained agitation with the support of all political parties was the way forward to realise the dream of Telangana. He said it was sad that nearly 1,000 young people have sacrificed their lives so far and yet there was no reaction of any kind from the powers-that-be. He cited the example of the death of Savita Halappanavar in Ireland and pointing out how the government in that country had reacted, also referring to how it got support from other countries.
Janardhan Reddy said that he has been promised full support by almost all politicians and organisations whom he contacted. However, he said he was yet to contact the Telangana Rashtra Samithi leaders for their support. So far he had contacted the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Communist Party of India, apart from balladeer Gaddar and several representatives of people’s organisations. (INN)
