Yatra to console Telangana ''martyrs'' to begin tomorrow

Hyderabad, Aug 25 (PTI) An 11-day BJP organised "Telangana martyr memorial yatra" to console families of those who sacrificed for the cause of Telangana, would begin tomorrow in Nalgonda district of Andhra Pradesh. BJP MLA of Nizamabad Laxminarayana, who defeated APCC President D Srinivas, would launch the yatra at Podichedu village in Nalgonda district, former union minister and senior BJP leader Bandaru Dattreya told reporters here today. The yatra would touch 500 villages in five districts of Nalgonda, Mahabubnagar, Rangareddy, Hyderabad and Medak in south Telangana, he said. Besides consoling family members of those who sacrificed their lives for the cause of Telangana, the aim of yatra was to expose ruling Congress party and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) for their double speak on Telangana issue, Dattatreya said.

Several party leaders including state unit president G Kishan Reddy, national secretary Dr K Laxman and others would participate in the yatra and address the public meetings,he said. Demanding the government to withdraw the cases booked against students for participating in the separate Telangana movement, Dattatreya appealed to students not to commit suicides and fight for separate state. .
