TJS seeks permission to hold its public meeting at Parade Grounds

Hyderabad, Apr 11: Telangana's new political Party 'Telangana Jana Samithi (TJS)', announced by prof Kodandaram-led TJAC, has been denied permission to hold its public meeting on April 29 to mark the launch by police and other officials.

TJS had sought permission to hold the meeting either at Saroornagar Stadium in RR district, NTR Stadium near Indira Park or LB Stadium near the city police commissioner's office. However, RR district sports authorities said an annual summer coaching camp will be held at Saroonagar Stadium at that time, and hence, permission on April 29 cannot be given.

In case of NTR Stadium, TJS was told that the venue cannot be given for any political meets. Regarding LB Stadium, TJS has not yet received any response from the authorities.

TJS has also applied for permission from the defense ministry to hold its public meeting at Parade Grounds, and a decision is awaited.

"The KCR government is scared because we have been coming out with facts and figures based on research. The failures of the TRS government to fulfill its promises are being highlighted with proof by TJAC. The government is feeling threatened and as such denying permission to it," he said.
