In an escalation of his ongoing protest, Motilal Naik, who was on hunger strike demanding that the Congress government fulfil its poll promises, announced on Tuesday his plan to hold a 10-million march.

The announcement comes after Naik’s nine-day hunger strike, which has garnered support from unemployed youth, government job aspirants and political parties such as the BRS.

“This time, we will do 10-million march. Not just unemployed youth, we will go to villages and take the support of farmers for our genuine demands. We will take this as a challenge,” Naik said
