Summary:
The government is extending prohibitory orders only to prolong the sit-in by MLAs. He told us that the stir may be called off after opposition members and the chief minister make separate statements, specifying their stand. This is not a solution,” said opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala.He added that the demand to withdraw prohibitory orders was not addressed. Earlier, five to seven lakh devotees used to throng the temple each day, he claimed, adding that unless the government repealed prohibitory orders, the flow of devotees won’t pick up. The speaker invited us to his chamber in the morning and we thought he has found a solution to the ongoing strike by members of the house..
