Vivekananda Reddy, who has been shifted to the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) after his health showed signs of weakness, continued his fast for a unified state.
Congress MLAs — Adinarayana Reddy and Srikant Reddy — also continued their fast on the fourth day. As many as 16 others were also holding fast at Kadapa in support of the united state.
Meanwhile, the bandh called to protest the arrest and forcible shifting of Vivekananda Reddy to hospital in Kadapa district was largely peaceful.
