Jagan begins hunger strike against division of Andhra

October 05, 2013 12:45

YSR Congress party president and Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy today launched an indefinite hunger strike at his residence against the Centre's decision to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh.

This is the second time Jagan is undertaking an indefinite fast on the issue.

In September, he went on an indefinite hunger strike in Chanchalguda Jail, where he was lodged as an under-trial in connection to an alleged disproportionate assets case against him, but it was foiled on the fifth day.
