Jagan Reddy's convoy pelted with stones as fast begins

January 10, 2012 12:32

Just in: Reports of stone pelting at Jagan Reddy's convoy in Nizamabad, Andhra Pradesh.

Jagan has begun a 48-hour fast at Armoor in Nizamabad district over farmers' problems. TRS, the Telangana political Joint Action Committee (JAC) and Congress leaders from the region yesterday voiced stiff opposition to Kadapa MP Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy's fast.

"Jagan has an anti-Telangana attitude. He never spoke in support of Telangana. He has tried to evade a clear stance on the separate statehood demand (by saying that the decision on it has to be taken by Centre). All Congress activists in Telangana should oppose his visit," Congress Lok Sabha member from Karimnagar Ponnam Prabhakar said yesterday.
