Cine actor and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan along with the Left Parties took up a padayatra (walkathon) today demanding Special Category Status (SCS) as well as fulfilment of other provisions in the AP State Reorganisation Act.
The Padayatra started from Benz Circle, Vijayawada, and continued upto Ramavarappadu Junction, covering a distance of about 3 Kms. Pawan visited Ambedkar’s statue near Thummulapalli Kalakshetram and paid respects to BR Ambedkar. From there, he left to the Benz Circle. The Padayatra began at 10:30 AM and ended at 11:45 AM.
On the whole, Pawan Kalyan’s padayatra is called a super success. As he hit the road for first time, thousands of Jana Sena followers followed him. Left party workers also came in big numbers.
Pawan Kalyan blamed both the ruling party TDP and the opposition party YSR Congress lacking honesty in their protests for SCS.
