Ms. Y.S. Sharmila, the President of the YSR Telangana Party (YSRTP) halted her Praja Prasthanam padayatra today, the 10th of November.
The break from the ‘Praja Prasthana Yatra’ was taken in the wake of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) in Telangana. On the 9th of November, the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced the schedule for the Members of the Legislative Council (MLC) election.
In view of the election scheduled, she took a pause from the padayatra, launched in October.
It is to be noted, Ms. Y.S. Sharmila launched a padyatra against the misrule of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS.) Named as ‘Praja Prasthanam’ the padayatra was launched on the 20th of October, by Ms. Y.S. Vijayamma, Ms. Y.S. Sharmila’s mother.
The major reason behind the padayatra is to raise voice against the TRS Government and Mr. K. Chandrashekar Rao, the Chief Minister of Telangana.
During this Praja Prasthanam padayatra, Ms. Y.S.Sharmila would walk 4,000 km covering 16 of the 17 Lok Sabha constituencies and all Assembly constituencies. However, she would not cover Assembly constituencies under the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) limits.
Everyday, Ms. Sharmila would begin her padyatra at 8:30 A.M., and would take a break between 12:30 P.M., to 3:00 P.M. She would conclude her padyatra at 6:00 P.M., everyday and would cover an average of 13-15 km. The Praja Prasthanam padayatra is expected to continue for a span of 14 months, which is likely to be till December 2022. However, now due to the MLC election, the padayatra would be postponed until the 10th of December, when the election is scheduled to be held.
Although Ms. Y.S. Sharmila halted her padayatra, she is scheduled to hold a 72 hours protest in support of the farmers of Telangana. In a statement, she said that she would hold a protest in Hyderabad for paddy farmers. The YSRTP Chief addressed the media ans said, “If the paddy is not purchased, the farmers have no hope to continue living.”
Since the launch of the YSRTP in June 2021, Ms. Y.S. Sharmila is targeting the K. Chandrashekar Rao Government for their misrule. She claimed to bring back the golden era of Telangana, which has been in danger under the leadership of Mr. K. Chandrashekar Rao, the Chief Minister of Telangana.
In the past few months, Ms. Y.S. Sharmila started a weekly protest against unemployment in Telangana and launched the padayatra.
