The 4,000 km padayatra, which began at Ibrahimpatnam in Ranga Reddy district on October 17 in pursuit of two objectives — social justice and comprehensive development of Telangana, was set to enter Khammam district on Friday.
The marathon padayatra would reach Gangaram in Sattupalli mandal of Khammam district from Aswaraopeta mandal in Bhadradri-Kothagudem district on Friday evening.
Giving these details at a press conference at Sundaraiah Bhavan here on Thursday, CPI(M) district secretary P. Venkateshwara Rao said the Mahajana padayatra was nearing the 3000-km mark with the overwhelming support from all sections of society.
Mr. Veerabhadram and other senior party leaders would address a series of meetings in hundreds of villages and dozens of towns across the district. The foot march was traversing the length and breadth of Telangana highlighting the cause of social justice and uplift of weaker sections, the prerequisites for achieving comprehensive development of Telangana, Mr. Venkateshwara Rao said.
