Jagan's fast over AP special status enters 6th day
October 12, 2015 23:34
The indefinite fast started in Guntur by YSR Congress President Y S Jaganmohan Reddy seeking special category status for Andhra Pradesh entered sixth day today and doctors expressed concern over his health condition.
According to government doctors, who are monitoring Jaganmohan Reddy's health, ketone bodies in the body rose and he may encounter kidney-related and other health problems if the same situation continued.
Meanwhile, a war of words is on between the leaders of YSRCP and the ruling TDP over the opposition leader's indefinite fast.
The war of words began with state ministers Prathipati Pulla Rao and Kamineni Srinivas reportedly expressing doubts on Jaganmohan Reddy's fast (with his glucose levels allegedly rising) and YSRCP leaders taking strong objection to it yesterday.
"At a time when the fast entered sixth day and his (Jaganmohan Reddy's) heath is causing concern, the way the shameless ministers are speaking, I wonder if they have humaneness. They say Jaganmohan Reddy is doing a fake fast," YSR Congress leader Ambati Rambabu alleged today.
Countering YSRCP leaders' comments, state Information Minister Palle Raghunatha Reddy today said there is no need for Jaganmohan Reddy to undertake a fast now.
