Large numbers of BRS workers, SCCL workers and public from from across the district participated in the protest which was staged against the Modi government’s anti-Telangana stance. The leaders addressing the gathering came down heavily on the Centre for its plans to auction SCCL mines.

The BJP government was plotting to stall the development of Telangana by its faulty policies like privatisation of SCCL mines. The SCCL has been a source of employment for the youth in Telangana and the privatisation of the mines could affect their employment opportunities, the leaders alleged.
