Pothala Prasad Naidu stood as a bridge between leadership and the youth at Jantar Mantar

New Delhi : In a historic show of unity, thousands gathered at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi demanding immediate Central Government approval for the 42% reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) declared by the Telangana State Government. The protest, led by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Telangana, drew widespread participation from political leaders, students, and social justice activists.
