On December 19, a sleepy town on the eastern fringes of Kurnool district called Adoni came to life as thousands of protesters marched against CAA and NRC, shouting anti-government slogans. Since that winter morning in Adoni, protests have spread like wildfire in Kurnool district. A massive rally was taken out by the CPI(M) in Kurnool city, which culminated in a public meet on Saturday. “However, the protests in Kurnool came first as there is a sizeable population of Muslims in Rayalaseema, especially in Kurnool district,” Mr. Rohit said. Mr. Kaginelli said that a pro-CAA demonstration was held at Yemmiganur and a bike rally was also held in Kurnool city.
