The Save Dharna Chowk committee will conduct a ‘padayatra’ in the areas surrounding the Indira Park and Dharna Chowk on May 28, in order to spread awareness about the “ploy” behind closing down the Dharna Chowk as protest location.
The team would tour Bima Maidan and LIC Colony, and interact with residents, the committee members said at a press conference here on Tuesday, after an internal meeting.
“We have reliable information that shutting down of Dharna Chowk has a bigger game plan behind it, to benefit the real estate lobby. Earlier too, NTR Stadium was targeted on the pretext of a cultural auditorium,” Chada Venkat Reddy, State secretary of the CPI, who is also convenor of the committee, said.
Save Indira
The colony members would be urged to save Indira Park, so that their houses would stay.
The committee, comprising CPI(M) State secretary Tammineni Veerabhadram, TJAC chairperson M. Kodandaram, and AAP leader P. L. Vishweshwar Rao, also took various other decisions, which include protest at Jantar Mantar in the national capital.
In June, people’s representatives, including ministers, MLAs, and MPs, would be questioned about the decision to move Dharna Chowk, Mr. Reddy said.
Booklets and leaflets about the undemocratic nature of the decision would be distributed. Besides, the committee has decided to implead in the case pending in the High Court.
