In a letter addressed to all legislators, Dr. JP has invited them to visit the Surajya Deeksha Vedika, meet Surajya Movement leaders, express support for the cause and reaffirm their commitment to its reform goals
“Given the non-partisan and constructive approach of the Surajya Movement, and given your role as an elected legislator for the Andhra Pradesh State, we appeal to you to take up the movement’s goals and objectives in various and appropriate forums in the coming days and weeks.
“Our freedom fighters and founding fathers made history by helping deliver ‘Swarajya’. It is time we stepped forward, stood on the right side of the unfolding history and help deliver ‘Surajya’ for our people.”
The letter was released to the media at the Somajiguda Press Club here today by members of the Surajya Steering Committee Mr. K. Madhava Rao, Mr. Rao Chelikani, Mr. DVVS Varma and Surajya Deeksha Camp Incharge Mr. Katari Srinivasa Rao.
