YSRCP To Organise Padayatra For Vizag Railway Zone

* Party plans 250 km-long- padayatra from Anakapalle to Bhimili

* Says AP people cheated as special zone was not announced in the Union Budget.

* Slams TDP for self-congratulation despite getting nothing for the state

YSRCP has decided to intensify its agitation demanding Visakhapatnam railway zone. As part of it, the party would organise a pada yatra from Anakapalle to Bhimili.

Stating this at a press conference in Visakhapatnam on Saturday, party senior leader Botsa Satyanarayana said the party has given a deadline of March 9 for the Central and the State Government to make an annnouncement on the issue failing which the padayatra would be undertaken.

He said party district president Gudivada Amarnath will lead the protest padayatra, which will span 250 km. Botsa slammed both the Centre and the State Governments for ignoring the sentiments and aspirations of the people of Andhra Pradesh.

He criticised Chandrababu for celebrating even when nothing was given to the state in the annual Union Budget. He said the TDP leaders were making money through land-pooling.

Gudivada Amarnath and other leaders were present.
