JSP leaders resort to protest at Rushikonda

Visakhapatnam: Raising slogans ‘Rushikonda Govinda’, ‘Properties in Visakhapatnam Govinda’, Jana Sena Party (JSP) leaders took out a protest at Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple near Rushikonda here on Monday.

When the JSP leaders visited the temple at Rushikonda to offer prayers to make Pawan Kalyan’s ensuing ‘Varahi yatra’ scheduled from August 10 a grand success in Visakhapatnam, the police reportedly stopped them from proceeding further stating that it was a sensitive region.

Reacting to the police’s attitude, the JSP leaders staged a protest and raised slogans that ‘Prajala asthulu Govinda’, ‘Kondalu Govinda’ and ‘Bhoomulu Govinda’ at Rushikonda.

They displayed placards against the YSRCP government during the protest.

JSP Bheemunipatnam constituency in-charge Panchakarla Sandeep and party leaders were present.
