Fervent call to keep State united

Samaikyandhra Forum to invite KCR for the meeting Srikakulam: Samaikyandhra Forum president Balaga Prakash appealed to the people to make 'Sikkolu Simha Garjana' a success which is scheduled for March 30 in Srikakulam. He has called upon the people to ensure that their meeting which is being held to raise their voice in favour of united Andhra Pradesh would find its echo from Sikkolu to Secunderabad. Addressing a press conference here on Thursday at the DCCB Office, he said that the public meeting will be held at the NTR Municipal Stadium in which Minsters Shailajanath, Ghanta Srinivasa Rao, Pasupuleti Balaraju, Kondru Muralimohan and Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajgopal will take part. "We are not against the people of Telangana but opposing the separatists. The leaders would explain about the present scenario in the State and speak about loss if the State was bifurcated and benefits if the State remain united. We are inviting TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao for the meeting and he can explain about his stand. The TRS, which was floated in 2001, had secured 26 seats in 2004 polls, while it bagged 10 seats in 2009. And in the ensuing polls in 2014, it won't win a single seat, he predicted. He flayed CPI leader Narayana and BJP State president G Kishan Reddy for backing the Telangana movement. The March 30 meeting would be an eye opener as the people would think over this issue, he hoped. earlier, Balladeer Vangapandu Prasad Rao made his presence felt at Suryamahal junction. He regaled the passersby by singing and dancing and appealed to the people to make 'Sikkolu Simha Garjana' a success which is scheduled for March 30 in Srikakulam. Addressing the media as the honorary president of Samaikyandhra Forum, he explained the importance of united Andhra Pradesh.
