The Student Union, under Mallikarjun’s leadership, resolved to
continue their agitation and boycott the classes. Mallikarjun urged all
thestudents to come to the Nizam College grounds for a meeting on the following
day at 11 a.m.
The students’ stance exasperated CM Brahmananda Reddy, especially
after he spent so much of his political capital to get all the political parties
and public representatives to agree to a deal. He probably felt that it was time
to get tough with the students. The government imposed a ban on all public
meetings and processions in the twin cities for the next six days and instructed
law enforcement officials to implement the ban strictly.
