Jagan Mohan Reddy continues his indefinite fast for third day

Hyderabad: The indefinite fast launched by YSR Congress chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy to protest the move to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh entered third day today.

"He (Jagan) is continuing with his fast and did not take lunch and dinner even today," Chanchalguda Jail Superintendent B Saidaiah told PTI adding his health condition was stable.

Mr Reddy began his indefinite hunger strike on Sunday.

YSR Congress honorary president YS Vijayamma had called off her indefinite fast on August 24 opposing proposed bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh after she was forcibly shifted to a hospital in Guntur.

She had then announced that her son and jailed Kadapa MP Jagan Mohan Reddy would undertake an indefinite fast seeking "justice for Seemandhra people."
