Left parties in Visakhapatnam protest against Amit Shah's visit to Andhra Pradesh over disrespectful remarks towards Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.
Leaders of Left parties in Visakhapatnam demanded that Union Home Minister Amit Shah should not be allowed to visit Andhra Pradesh for his alleged humiliating remarks against Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.
Protesting against the visit of Mr. Amit Shah to the State on Saturday and Sunday, CPI, CPM and other Left parties’ leaders staged a demonstration at the GVMC Gandhi Statue in the city. Speaking on the occasion, CPM district secretary M. Jaggunaidu and CPI district leader G.S. Atchyuta Rao deplored the Centre for trying to change the Constitution.
“When the Opposition parties raised a hue and cry over the Centre’s move on the Rajya Sabha floor, Mr. Amit Shah humiliated the other party leaders as well as Dr. B.R. Ambedkar,” they said. They added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi too backed Mr. Amit Shah’s remarks.
They found fault with Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan for not condemning the remarks of Mr. Amit Shah.
Most people new to the city associate Whitefield with the IT hub, upscale malls, vehicular congestion and never-ending water woes. But the suburb also has a long history dating back to 1882, as Deepa, who developed a keen interest in the locality’s heritage since her husband’s family, the Pecks, was among the earliest inhabitants of Whitefield, constantly reiterates. According to her, the man in the photograph, David Emmanuel Starkenburgh White, after whom the area is named, founded Whitefield then on land granted to the Eurasian and Anglo-Indian Association by Chamrajendra Wadiyar X, the Maharaja of Mysore.
