Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) working president and former Telangana minister KT Rama Rao on Thursday announced an indefinite hunger strike at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar.
The announcement comes a day after Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy asked the opposition BRS to join him in ‘hunger strike unto death’ at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi to pressurize the Central government to allocate funds for Telangana. “We are ready. Let KCR come and fast with us,” Revanth had told BRS members in the assembly causing an uproar.
Subsequently, on Thursday, KTR announced that he was ready and asked the CM to join lead the protest at Jantar Mantar to pressurize the Central government for the allocation of funds to Telangana.
