MRPS activist’s protest at AP Assembly

Hyderabad, February 05: The Madiga Reservation Porata Samiti activists created a disturbance on Wednesday when they climbed atop the Assembly building and threatened to jump from there to highlight their demand for categorisation of the Scheduled Castes.
A total of 27 MRPS activists and its student’s wing entered the Assembly lobbies on Monday afternoon and ran amock.
The activists entered the Assembly on visitors passes issued by ministers and MLAs.
While 10 activists rushed to the Assembly terrace and threatened to jump, the others locked themselves in the three offices shared by the ministers, K. Jana Reddy, J.C. Diwakar Reddy, Koneru Ranga Rao, Kanna Laxminarayana, Ponnala Laxmaiah and N. Raghuveera Reddy.
They were cleared after about half-an-hour.
The Hyderabad city police commissioner, B. Prasada Rao, denied intelligence failure saying the activists seemed to have entered Assembly with valid passes.
