Samaikyandhra activists gherao Lagadapati's house

Vijayawada: With speculations increasing about the division of the state, pro-Samaikyandhra activists came in large number onto the roads today continuing their agitation in the region.

They upped the ante today by burning effigies, taking out rallies and conducting dharnas in major towns of Seemandhra region to press for their demand of a United Andhra.

The Samaikyandhra JAC activists in Vijayawada tried to attack the residence of Congress MP Lagadapati Rajagopal.

While raising slogans in favour of Samaikyandhra, the activists demanded that the MP resign from his post immediately. They also surrounded the houses of Union ministers Kotla Vijaya Bhaskara Reddy, Daggubati Purandeswari and Kvuri Samba Siva Rao.

Police swiftly stopped the protests, arresting the activists. Protests were continuing in majority of the nine districts of Andhra and four districts of Rayalaseema to oppose possible division of the state.
