Jagan to go on indefinite hunger strike from Saturday

YSR Congress Party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy will go on an indefinite hunger strike at his party office from Saturday (tomorrow) protesting against the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh. This was announced by Jagan at a press conference on Friday in Hyderabad.

The swift decisions on protest from Jagan were consequential to developments on Thursday in New Delhi, where the Cabinet 'unilaterally' consented Telangana note, paving the way for State bifurcation.
He reiterated that his anguish has nothing to do with any politics and thus, called upon one and all across the party lines to join his protest, or to support his hunger strike. 

'I request Chandrababu Naidu today to support our protest against the bifurcation of state. I request the whole country to support us and fight against the Telangana decision. If the state is divided, how will you provide water. Without assembly resolution, how can you divide a state. There's no rationality behind the bifurcation. Elections are due in Andhra Pradesh, is there a tactical reason behind the bifurcation,'' Jagan asked.
