BJP leaders in Sathupalli are backing the upcoming Disabled People’s Maha Garjana rally on September 3 in Hyderabad.
At a meeting on the JVR College grounds in Sathupalli, they met with MRPS founder Padma Shri Sode Mandakrishna Madiga. They honored him with a shawl to show support for the cause. The rally seeks to increase pensions: ₹6,000 for disabled individuals, ₹4,000 for the elderly, and ₹15,000 for those with severe disabilities. The BJP criticized the Congress-led government for not delivering on these promises made 20 months ago.
They urged disabled persons and seniors in the Sathupalli constituency and Khammam district to join the rally in large numbers.
Key figures at the meeting included Khammam Parliament convenor Namburi Ramalingeswara Rao, constituency convenor Veeramraju, town president Banoth Vijay, rural president Saali Shiva, councillor Jonnalagadda Naresh, and former councillors Matta Prasad and Batta Shiva Sai Yadav, along with Lakshminarayana.
