Jagan Reddy on indefinite fast, to challenge cabinet decision in SC

Last month, he went on an indefinite hunger-strike in the Chanchalguda Jail, where he was lodged as an undertrial in an alleged disproportionate assets case against him, but it was foiled on the fifth day.



Following the Union Cabinet's approval of division of the state, Jagan, after being granted bail in the case, relaunched his agitation blaming the Centre and the Congress for going ahead with the bifurcation process without addressing the concerns of "majority of people".

Scores of YSRC activists gathered at his Lotus Pond residence to greet Jagan as he began the stir at 11.30am after paying homage at the bust of his late father YS Rajasekhara Reddy.

Party MP Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy and other leaders flanked Jagan on the specially erected 'deeksha' platform.
