Power hike protests: AP govt assures relook

Bowing to intensified protests by TDP and other opposition parties on the issue of power crisis, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy tonight said the power tariff hike would be revisited so that poor sections were not burdened.

Police meanwhile shifted the fasting BJP MLAs — G Kishan Reddy, E Lakshminarayna and Y Srinivasa Reddy — to hospital in view of their health condition. They had launched a hunger strike four days back.
