Rayalaseema Rashtra Samithi (RRS) president Kuncham Venkatasubba Reddy has asked the United Progressive Alliance government to announce a special package for Rayalaseema region, which is socially and economically backward.
Rally taken out
Speaking at a rally and dharna organised by the party in Badvel town on Thursday, demanding provision of public amenities in areas inhabited by poorer sections, Mr. Reddy demanded that the representatives of major political parties raise the demand in the all-party meeting convened in New Delhi on December 28.
Flays MPs, MLAs
RRS general secretary B. Krishna Prasad lamented that 11 Members of Parliament and 52 MLAs from Rayalaseema region and Samaikyandhra JAC convener and secretary, hailing from the region, were not voicing their concern for the region’s development and its future.
TTD funds
