No more RoadShows in the state

This is a huge blow to all the political parties in the state. The High Court of Andhra Pradesh passed a ’stay’ on the Road Shows being organized by all the political parties and issued notices to all the parties of the state. It allowed the parties to file a counter in a week’s time if the parties feel that the ’stay’ is not fair.
With Chiranjeevi organizing Road Shows through out the state and receiving huge public response, all parites in the state folowed the same path and started organizing shows (all parties include Congress, PRP, TDP, TRS and Communists). The turn out for these road shows had been huge and everything was going well. However a few days back four people died in stampedein Chiranjeevi’s Road Show.
After this incident a person named Venkatesh filed a petition against the Road Shows being organized by political parties. He mentioned that the parties are trying to display by their strngth by organizing these road showsand the lack of proper control is causing the death of the people who attend these meetings. The High Court responded positively to the petition and ordered an immediate and inconditional stay on all the Road Shows. The Court ordered the Police Department not to allow any Road Shows.
The political parties are preparing to file counter petitions. This will be an important aspect in the current politics. Will the Road Shows be banned completely in India like some of the western countries?
