The students’ Joint Action Committee(JAC) started sending e-mails, at the G. Pullaiah Engineering College on Wednesday, demanding the government to set up the High Court in Rayalaseema .
The students sent emails to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, and Governor Biswabhusan Harichandan, urging them to look into the matter.
Speaking with The Hindu , B. Sriramulu, a student leader, said that they have sent over 5,000 e-mails in just one day. “We expect to send over one lakh e-mails by November 12,” he added.
Kalyan in the eye of storm
Meanwhile, the lawyers took offence at the snide remarks made by Jana Sena Party(JSP) chief Pawan Kalyan who had sarcastically advised CM Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to establish the High Court in Kurnool and move the capital city to Pulivendula in Kadapa district, the hometown of Mr. Jagan.
The lawyers and students demanded an apology from the actor-turned-politician. “Mr. Kalyan extended support when Kurnool lawyers met with him. Mocking Rayalaseema people is deplorable,” said a lawyer.
Expressing discontent, the lawyers made an effigy of Mr. Kalyan and took out a procession in the city.
