Kakinada: YSRC Stages Relay Fast Over DSC Issue · deccanchronicle.com

Some people from a political party in India called the YSRC held a protest called a 'relay hunger strike.'

In this kind of protest, people take turns not eating food to show how strongly they feel about something.

They gathered at a place called Sarpavaram Junction in the city of Kakinada.

They are unhappy about how teachers were picked for government school jobs.

They think the selection process had problems, and they want a special agency called the CBI to check what happened.

They also said the government has not paid back money that it owes to students.

Because of this delay, schools are asking parents to pay fees that should have been covered.

The protesters want the government to fix these problems.

They also reminded the government of its promise to give unemployed young people 3,000 rupees every month.

The leader of the protest is a former minister named Kurasala Kannababu.
