 Employee unions in visakhapatnam have taken part in a major protest against Indian Government's decision to bifurcate the state of Andhrapradesh.  The unions have gathered at District headquarters. They have paid two minutes of silence hoping the soul of Mr. Srinivas may rest in peace who has committed suicide for United Andhra (Samaikyandhra). The leaders of the movement called for all the locals being a part of the Samaikyandhra movement until the government changes its way towards United Andhra. They warned the govenment that they wouldn't tolerate decisons taken from delhi while the issues are in Andhra.

Later, the rally moved from Zilla Parishad to collectorate where they formed "Manavaharam" by joinging each others hands.

If they don't respond, we will have to make the movement more aggressive. I request all the farmers to join the movement as as of now, employees, students and business men are a part of movement. In the coming days, they may even close steel plant. So I request INDUC, TNDUC, CITU and all others to came and take part in the movement..."

                         Another leader said " This not the issue to be handled by politicians. This is a social problem. The political parties need not take any decisions to save society. Miss Sonia! Miss Sonia Gandhi!! This is a social problem. This not a political problem. You are a private political party. Congress party is not suitable for.. Problem to India.. At any cost, we will not accept this problem.."

                            Another woman said "Mr. Ganta Srinivas  Rao garu has to be more responsible as a minister. He knows that we would come here from 3 days. He didn't even spare 10 minutes of time to listen to us. We are no terrorists nor any other rebels. We are just employees. We want our demands to be heard..."


                   విశాఖ లో సమైక్య ఉద్యమం మరింత ఉదృత  రూపం దాల్చింది . మంత్రి శ్రీ గంటా శ్రీనివాసరావు ఇంటిని ముట్టడించేందుకు సిదమావుతున్నారు . కనీసం ఐదు నిముషాలు కూడా ఉద్యమం చేయకుండా, పోలీసులు వీరిని అడ్డుకోవడంతో, వీరంతా ఆగ్రహం వ్యక్తం చేస్తున్నారు.

                  ఒక నేత ఇలా అన్నారు..  "సమైక్య ఆంధ్ర కు అందరం కట్టుబడి ఉన్నాం . MLAs, Ministers అంతా రాజీనామా చేయాలి. ఆ రాజీనామా సందర్బంగా, ఈ రాష్ట్రాన్ని సమైక్యంగా ఉంచుతారని మేమంతా నమ్ముతున్నాం. సమైక్యంద్ర లో విద్యార్దులు, రైతులు, ఉద్యోగులు, కార్మికులు, కర్షకులు అన్ని వర్గాల వారు కూడా, రోడ్డు మీదికి వచ్చి నిరసన తెలియచేసి, ఆ నిరసన ద్వారా సమైక్య ఆంధ్ర ని కాపాడాలి అని  కోరుతున్నాం"

                        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.”

                      One of the home guards from Visakhapatnam Mr. T. Srinivas has committed suicide yesterday by drinking pesticide at his house. The locals and the family members of the victim told media that the reason for his committing suicide is the government moving in the direction of giving Separate Telangana State and causing Andhrapradesh to break apart into two segments forever.  The victim Mr. T. Srinivas is a resident of Tatipudi Villageof Gantyada Mandal which is in Vijayanagaram. 

                      After having watched the TV program showing the summary of cwc meeting that favoured dividing the state into two parts, Mr. Srinivas went into the bathroom and consumed poisonous pesticide and lost consciousness. He was shifted to a local hospital and then Visakha KGH immediately after having drunk the pesticide. He had received medical treatment for few hours, his body couldn’t be treated any further and he died of his critical stage this morning i.e. around 10.00am on 31st July 2013.

                        Some of the locals are demanding the government to grant 10 Lakhs ex-gratia and a government job for one of the family members.

                      As the Congress working committee is planning to have a decision taken on Telangana Issue, having received rumours of state bifurcation, Students supporting United Andhra("Samaikyandhra") are participating in big rally in Visakhapatnam. The rally is organized by Samaikyandhra Student JAC (joint action committee). They have rolled out future action plan opposing the Core committee meeting dated 26th July and CWC meets dated 27th and 28th July. The rally made its way from Rama Talkies to the statue of Ghandhiji with thousands of students being part of it.

                      The leaders of the rally demand the state and central governments to not to divide the state into two. They say "Samaikyandhra is the heart beat of Telugu people. Samaikyanadhra is Telugu people's right. If the congress party tries to divide it for the sake of votes and seats, the Students across the state won’t tolerate the act."

                      Another student leader said "We say only one thing to Mr. Botsa satyanarayana garu and CM garu and Deputy CM garu to take every protest to the notice of high command to move in the direction of united Andhra. If anything contrary to this happens. then the students across the state will turn the state into a burning furnace."

Mr. B. Ramakrishna of Visakhapatnam studied up to B.Com. As he couldn't get the right job for his studies, he joined SaiKrishna travels as a cleaner. His salary couldn't pay for his luxuries. So he followed a new route to earn more. He made many job seekers believe that he is capable of providing jobs for talent. 

In the process he calls the candidates to come along with their original certificates and the bio-data to random places the information of which would be communicated over the phone. A while later he requests the candidates to allow him to go get the Xerox of the certificates by travelling on their bikes. That’s it. Neither he nor the bikes along with the certificates return. If the candidates are females, he has a separate way of behaviour for them. He says "Your chain looks good. Can I see it once?” He collects fees for jobs as well. He cheated around 20 people from Visakhapatnam. He hands over the stolen bikes and the chains to his friend Mr. Pradeep Kumar who en cashes them from private finance companies like Manappuram Gold, IIFL and Muthoott finance etc. They throw away the sim cards once their job is finished.

The police say that these thieves are capable of cheating the female candidates very easily. The police have investigated the case based on the phone numbers. The two suspects Mr. B. Ramakrishna and Mr. Pradeep Kumar have accepted the charges and clarified that they were responsible for all the theft.

Job Seekers and Finance companies need to be aware of these things happening in and around the city!
