Aurangabad (Maharashtra): Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) National President and Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao's third public meeting in Maharashtra which was earlier planned to be held at Aamkhas Maidan will now be held at Jambida Maidan on Bid bypass road on April 24 at around 5 pm, sources said.
According to official sources, the permission to hold a meeting at Aamkhas Maidan was denied by the Maharashtra Police keeping in view the security of the CM and his party workers. Sources said that the party workers decided to hold the meeting at Aamkhas Maidan as it is in the middle of the city but Police denied the permission saying that Aamkhas Maidan is in a sensitive area and holding a meeting will be a threat to the BRS leader.
Police sources said, "the venue of the meeting was shifted keeping in view the security of the leader and party workers. And also the the ground belonged to the Cultural Sports Board and holding a political party at this ground will not be right."
The police then suggested Milind College to hold the party meeting, but the party workers refused to conduct the meeting there. Keeping in view that a large number people will throng the meeting, and a large ground will be required for the meeting, the administration decided to offer BRS Jambida Maidan on Bid bypass road and it was accepted by the party as well.
