Although it was raining cats and dogs, the strong determination of AP NGOs and the protesters of Samaikyandhra, made 'Save Andhra Pradesh Meet' a grand success, at Swaraj Maidan of Vijayawada. Highlights and sidelights of this meet are as follows.
* Due to heavy rain, Ashok Babu, the president of AP NGOs, couldn't speak much.
* Almost all the speakers demanded the resignations of union ministers of Seemandhra region.
* Many speakers threw showers of praises on CM Mr. Kirankumar Reddy.
* Less criticisms on opposition leaders have been noticed rather the criticisms made on Seemandhra ministers.
* Somehow it appeared the felicitation function of Ashok Babu, as many speakers praised the former to a greater extent.
* Ashok Babu, Chalasani Srinivas, Nalamothu Chakravarthy of Vishalandhra Mahasabhalu, and Venkatesh appeared to be very much similar in one 'particular' aspect.
* Karem Sivaji targeted Manda Krishna in his speech.
* The songs of Gangadhar, a blind teacher and Balakrishna enthralled the huge turnout.
