The maverick Telangana Rashtra Samithi
president K Chandrasekhar Rao did an about-turn on Tuesday on his
much-publicized fast-unto-death, creating a lot of confusion in Andhra Pradesh
political circles.
Barely a few hours after happily accepting fruit juice given by the doctors,
wiping his mouth with a towel and making an announcement that he was withdrawing
his fast to prevent a violent agitation, the TRS president changed his mind,
apparently on seeing the wild reaction from students, Telangana activists and
general public.
He declared that he was still continuing the hunger strike demanding creation of
separate Telangana state. It was a conspiracy by the government to show our
leader in poor light. There is no question of calling off the fast. KCR will
continue the fast, come what may, the TRS ideologue Prof Jayashankar said.
