Jagan to sit on fast at Jantar Mantar

Hyderabad, January 11: Former Congress MP and the late YSR’s son Jaganmohan Reddy has brought his water war to the national Capital.

He will go on a day-long fast to protest the “injustice” meted out to Andhra Pradesh in the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal verdict. Jagan will sit on a fast from 10 am at Jantar Mantar along with his supporters.

The former Congress MP from Kadapa, who had resigned from the party on November last year, arrived late Monday night by a special train along with his supporters and farmers as he also plans to highlight the cause of the farmers of Andhra through this fast.

The Congress High Command will be watching how many Congress MLAs and MPs join him in Delhi.

Jagan’s camp claims that at least a dozen Congress MLAs and few MPs will participate in the fast.

Last time when Jagan went on a 48-hour hunger strike, around 20 MLAs joined him in solidarity.
