TRS, BJP stage road blockades over Telangana issue

Warn of intensifying agitation with relay hunger strikes

PTI | January 17, 2011



Stepping up the agitation for introduction of a bill for formation of Telangana state in the Budget session of Parliament, activists of TRS, BJP, and several other organisations staged road blockades across the region today.

Road traffic was badly affected in various towns and villages in the region, as the Telangana supporters blocked traffic following the call given by Telangana political Joint Action Committee (JAC).

JAC Convener M Kodandaram, BJP leader N Indrasena Reddy and several other leaders blocked traffic at the busy L B Nagar junction here.

Demanding that the Centre table the Telangana bill, Kodandaram warned that agitation will be intensified by starting relay hunger strikes from January 21.

Kodandaram and others were removed from the place and taken to a nearby police station.

The protesters conducted similar 'rasta-roko' at other places in the city too.

TRS MLA D Vinay Bhaskar and BJP leaders led the protest at a busy road in Warangal, while another TRS MLA and party president K Chandrasekhar Rao's nephew T Harish Rao organised protests in Medak district.
