MRPS plans to spread its agitation Statewide
Staff Reporter
The Madiga Reservation Porata Samiti (MRPS) has decided to intensify
its agitation for categorisation of Scheduled Castes in the State, as
the 24-hour deadline set by its fasting president Manda Krishna Madiga
to the State government ended on Tuesday.
It was decided that mandal and district presidents of MRPS would go on
indefinite fast in support of Mr. Madiga from Wednesday and road
blockade protests from village level were planned from Thursday. Mr.
Krishna Madiga had set the deadline on Monday seeking an announcement
from the government that Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy would
lead an all-party delegation to Delhi to exert pressure on the Centre
for categorisation of SCs.
The assurance of the Chief Minister passed on to Mr. Krishna by two
Ministers on Monday that the government would lead the delegation was
not enough for him to call-off his indefinite fast. They will be
convinced of the government's sincerity only with an official
announcement, the MRPS leaders at the fasting camp stated on Tuesday.
