YSRC chalking out strategies to counter Amaravati farmers\' padayatra

Deccan Chronicle  

VISAKHAPATNAM: The ruling YSRC leaders are chalking out strategies to counter the padayatra launched by the Amaravati Parirakshana Samithi on Monday. Sources in the party said the minister would meet the vice chancellor of Andhra University to rope in teachers and students for the campaign in support of the three-capitals plan and to oppose the padayatra. Fisheries and animal husbandry minister Seedari Appalaraju said the government would not be responsible if the people confronted the padayatra directly. If the ruling party indulges in violence it would be counterproductive,’’ TD vice president Pasarla Prasad said.
