 Tirupati, Sept 24, 2012: Opposing the Government’s decision to hike the RTC fares, YSR Congress Tirupati MLA Bhumana Karunakara Reddy resorted to a unique protest in the town today.

As hundreds of activists followed him, Karunakara Reddy rode on a horse and went round the streets decrying the bus fare hike. The activists raised slogans against the Government and demanded an immediate rollback of the hike.

Speaking on the occasion, he said the bus charges were not increased even once during the YSR regime and charged the Kiran Kumar Reddy government with diluting the welfare schemes introduced by YSR.

Assuring that YSR Congress will agitate continuously seeking solutions to the people’s problems, Karunakara Reddy asked people to teach a lesson to the government.
