Staff Reporter

Rajahmundry: Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS) founder president who was indisposed on Monday in Rajahmundry during his `Madigala Tirugubatu Maha Padayatra' has postponed his tour to April 13.

Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, the state president and general secretaries of MRPS, Dandu Veeraiah Madiga and MSV Muniprasad said that the doctors have advised their leader to postpone his yatra to Thursday. They said that there are slight changes to Maha Pada Yatra plan and he will tour only in constituency headquarters. They said that at any cost Krishna Madiga will reach Hyderabad on May 14 along with lakhs of Madigas from across the state. The MRPS state president demanded that the Chief Minister take up the issue of introducing the Categorisation of SCs bill in coming Parliament session with the Prime Minister and Sonia Gandhi. He said that they obliged the Chief Minister and had gone back on the `Madigala Kurukshetram' movement during the last Congress Plenary in Hyderabad. ``YSR has to decide whether he wants social justice or loosing power,'' they added.
