The indefinite fast by YSR Congress president Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy entered the third day on Monday even as members of Secretariat, Samaikya Udyogulu JAC Forum, called on him and expressed solidarity.
Talking to reporters after meeting Mr. Jagan at the hunger strike venue, the fourm’s chairman, Muralikrishna, lauded the stand taken by YSRC chief and wanted other parties too to support the cause of a united State. If all parties adopt a similar position, the Centre would be forced to roll back its decision on the lines of the recent withdrawal of an ordinance.
A team of doctors from Osmania General Hospital examined Mr. Jagan on Monday evening and declared that his health condition was stable with blood sugar levels and blood pressure remaining normal. The doctors advised him to take fluids when he complained of back pain.
YSRC spokesperson Ambati Rambabu said the indefinite fast launched by TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu without withdrawing the letter given by him earlier exposed his double standards. Ridiculing Mr. Naidu, he said it seemed that he was in a hurry wanting the Centre to hasten the division process.
He said AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh speaking in terms of package and Mr. Naidu too mentioning about a special package after the announcement of division showed that they were working in tandem.
