Leaders of Left parties have called for a State-wide
bandh in Andhra Pradesh on April 9 to protest against the hike in power tariffs and the
fuel surcharge adjustment. At a meeting of the
leaders of these parties on Wednesday, it was resolved to intensify
the agitation, starting with protests in every mandal and district
headquarters town across the State on April 1, culminating in a bandh.
Earlier in
the day, all seven leaders of Left parties on a hunger strike for the
past four days were discharged from Gandhi Hospital.
The
Left parties’ leaders declared that they would not relent till the
government realised its folly and came up with a people-friendly energy
policy, also absorbing the entire burden of the FSA.
