Ministers Resign Seemandhra Shuts Down
In the aftermath of 30th July, Seemandhra is mourning. A decision to split the state of Andhra Pradesh and carve out a separate Telangana has angered leaders and citizens alike in Seemandhra.
Many
areas across the region came to a halt, sprinkled with protests. APSRTC
services, commercial establishments and educational institutions halted
their daily routine. Kadapa, Chittoor, Krishna and Visakhapatnam
districts bore the brunt of the shutdown.
United
Andhra supporters took out rallies to protest the state division, even
as the Panchayat polls took place. Students in Vijayawada blocked roads,
while Samaikyandhra Students Joint Action Committee (JAC) imitated the
same in Vishakpatnam. East Godavari is observing a total bandh.
Additionally,
a minimum of 4 ministers and 6 party MLAs have resigned from their
posts. Seemandhra has come out in large numbers against the Center's
wish to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh.
