The High Court permitted the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) to conduct ‘Yuva Sangrama Sadassu’ at Saroornagar Stadium on Saturday after the police refused permission for the programme.
The BRS moved the court, claiming that the police were unnecessarily denying permission, though they were approached 15 days ago. The police argued that the BRS was planning to block the national highway and that the crowd might create law and order problems.
Allowing the event, the court directed the party to adhere to all conditions prescribed by the police and other authorities to ensure law and order, public safety, and smooth traffic management.
The meeting is being organised by the BRS to highlight what it describes as the Congress government’s failure to fulfil its promises on employment. The party plans to accuse the government of not providing the promised jobs to unemployed youth and remind the public of the commitments made by the Congress before the Assembly elections.
BRS working president KT Rama Rao claimed the permission was denied at the behest of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and accused the government of suppressing unemployed youth whenever they raised the demand for more notifications.
Mr. Rao said irrespective of the suppression, the BRS will continue to raise the issues of the unemployed youth while urging the job aspirants to attend the meeting to put pressure on the government. BRS general secretary R.S. Praveen Kumar asked why the Congress was afraid to permit the programme when it had conducted similar programmes while in opposition.
