Kurnool: Demanding establishment of High Court in Kurnool and shifting of state capital to Rayalaseema region, activists of Rayalaseema students Joint Action Committee (JAC) laid siege to the houses of MLAs and MPs including Ministers in Kurnool district on Saturday coinciding with the signing of Sri Bagh Pact in 1937.
The houses of Finance minister Buggana Rajendranath Reddy and Labour Welfare Minister Gummanur Jayaram at Alur among others were laid siege, said JAC leader Sreeramulu. Sriramulu said that Sribagh Pact is an agreement made between the political leaders of Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions during the separate Andhra on 16th November 1937.
