Tirupati: CPM demands BJP to withdraw case in High Court

Tirupati: The CPM workers on Wednesday staged a protest in front of TTD administrative building on Kapilatheertham road demanding continuation Garuda flyover works taken up at a cost of Rs 484 crores. The State government, Municipal Corporation of Tirupati and TTD are jointly constructing the Garuda flyover to ease traffic congestion in the city.

It may be noted that a few days ago BJP State secretary Bhanu Prakash Reddy had filed a case against the spending of TTD funds for Garuda flyover construction. In this backdrop, all parties bitterly were opposing the BJP's stand and questioning its leaders why they are maintaining the stoic silence on the issue.

For the past three days, AAP, an NGO, the CPM and Congress leaders have been expressing their anger over the BJP stand. The CPM leaders appealed to the TTD officials to file a counter petition in High Court against the BJP petition.

Similarly, Srivari Devotees Association president P Naveen Kumar Reddy also participated in coconuts breaking activity near Alipiri and offered prayers to Srivenkateswara Swamy for continuation of Garuda flyover works without any disturbance.

Even opposition TDP leaders also criticised the BJP stand over Garuda flyover construction and demanded BJP leader Bhanu Prakash Reddy for withdrawing the case.
