In a bold demonstration of dissent, former minister RK Roja on Wednesday dramatically placed a flower in her ear as a symbolic protest against the coalition government led by Chandrababu Naidu. She accused the government of neglecting electoral promises in Chittoor district.
The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), spearheaded by YS Jaganmohan Reddy, marked the first anniversary of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP)-led government with protests across Andhra Pradesh, labeling the occasion as 'Betrayal Day'. In East Godavari, district president Chelluboyina Venugopala Krishna led a rally in Rajamahendravaram Rural, submitting a formal protest to the District Collector.
A wave of rallies swept through the state, with Meda Raghunath Reddy leading a protest in Rajampet and MPs Mithun Reddy and Maddila Gurumoorthy participating in Sarvepalli. Meanwhile, TDP's observance of 'Praja Teerpu Dinam' or 'People's Victory Day' starkly contrasted the YSRCP's narrative of unfulfilled promises and alleged political oppression.
