Shouting at Sitharaman’s Madanapalle speech in Andhra was enthusiasm, not a jobs protest, says Collector
Annamayya district collector, who arranged the Madanapalle event featuring Finance Minister Sitharaman, said the shouting from the crowd reflected enthusiasm rather than a protest over jobs. He dismissed claims of a demonstration as “meaningless and ridiculous.” The district’s information and public relations officer, who confronted the audience, blamed a camera zoom on the youths for triggering the reaction.
