The Rayalaseema Communist Party has vowed to intensify the agitation until justice is delivered.

Call for revenue officials to act
He criticized the practice of registering cases against Dalit protestors instead of acting against the encroachers. He urged the revenue department to respond and restore justice to the rightful landowners in Old Kadapa.

To build momentum, the party announced a 10-day campaign in Dalit and tribal villages. Committees will be set up at the grassroots level, and large-scale mobilization of Dalit communities will be initiated to prepare for future protests.
