                        Samaikhyandhra activists are in the phase of attacking ministers houses. In the news, today the activists have gathered and sat in front of Minister Mr. Ganta Srinivasa Rao and Minister Bala Raju’s houses. Police have arrested many and moved them to 3rd Town Police Station who we released subsequently. 

                       On the other hand, Mr. Lagadu Govindam and Mr. Areti Mahesh are still continuing their 3rd day of hunger strike in Visakhapatnam’s Andhra University. Media says that many groups are joining them to support them and to fight for the same cause having Visakhapatnam as their operations base. One of the activists told media that they are continuing the hunger strike even on third day protesting the decisions taken by UPA and the local Ministers who promised to resign if the state divides into two parts. He also mentioned that the activists have gathered and sat in front of the houses of 13 Districts’ minister’s houses.

                         Leaders from AP Ngo Association, YSR party have taken part in the protest. An activist from NGO Association told media that they have rounded up the houses of two ministers in Visakhapatnam. He explained that the ministers using police force to suppress the protest as it is now will not stop them. He warned the congress party to change their way towards united Andhra. Failing to do so would result in zero votes for the congress party.

                        Another leader told media, “Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Congress have partnered in tearing the state into two. The Government is playing with the future of the students in the state. After having Hyderabad developed by spending Crores of rupees paid by the people of entire state to establish various government institutions and courts etc, the government is now trying to play with future of many by taking  this decision.

                         Lawyers of bar association have also taken part in the protest supporting the United Andhra Version. Mr. M.A Russul, Chairman of City Congress legal cell told”Lawyers of bar association from visakha have boycotted their duties to support students protesting against telangana issue at Andhra University in Visakhapatnam. There are around 85,000 layers in the state of which 15% to 20% lawyers are of Telangana region. Even in litigation point of view, Seemandhra lawyer’s litigation is more when compared to that of telangana lawyers. Population wise, district wise, MPs wise or MLA’s wise or by any other point of view, allotting separate telangana is not a correct move. At the same time as a Muslim   brother, I would say, there are 2 crore Muslim brothers in the state of which 2 lakh are in Visakhapatnam district. All the Muslims are living happy life without any race, cast or colour based divisions.”
