ADILABAD: Congress legislature party leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka's padayatra on its second day saw him interacting with more people to know about local problems. Former minister and MLC Jeevan Reddy participated in the Bhatti’s yatra on Friday.

He also interacted with cobbler Balaji Eshwar Mukhund and an elderly person as also some autorickshaw drivers about their daily earnings. The auto drivers told Bhatti that their daily income has reduced largely due to the increase in fuel prices.
