The founder president of the YSRTP, Y S Sharmila, today said that she would embark upon a padayatra named Praja Prasthanam.
She said that the padayatra would start on October 20, 2021, and would be held in all Assembly constituencies of the state except those that fell under the GHMC limits.
She said that she would launch the padayatra in the Chevella Assembly constituency, and end it in the same constituency.
She would walk for 12 km to 15 km every day during her padayatra, Sharmila said, adding that she would continue her hunger strike being held on every Tuesday demanding that the state government solve the problems being faced by the unemployed youth of the state, during her padayatra as well.
She claimed that her father and former CM Y S Rajasekhar Reddy was the brand ambassador of the padayatra, and that she had taken up the padayatra to achieve his aspirations, and to protect the state from the "atrocities" of CM K Chandrashekar Rao.
