Fight unitedly against Centre

Vijayawada: Actor Sivaji said that the 12 hours night protest conducted with flags of all parties is aimed to make them united and send a strong message to Telugu voters in Karnataka to vote against the BJP in the Assembly elections.  

Addressing media after the conclusion of his night vigil here on Friday morning, Sivaji appealed to parties to launch a united fight against the Centre demanding Special Category Status for the state.
