Protesting against the passing of the controversial bill on the Polavaram Project in the Lok Sabha on Friday, the Telangana Congress has called for a Khammam bandh on Saturday.
Speaking to media persons, Congress MLC Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy said that his party would observe the bandh in protest against the forced merger of some mandals of the Khammam district with Seemandhra.
He alleged that the Bill was the result of a conspiracy hatched by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu.
He said that the Congress party would also organise a dharna in New Delhi on July 14. (INN)
