Jagan Reddy, on fast for a week, taken to hospital as health deteriorates

Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, Oct 13 (IBNS) Andhra Pradesh politician Jaganmohan Reddy, who had been on a fast demanding special category status for the state, was bodily lifted by police from a platform and taken to hospital on Tuesday after his health deteriorated, reports said.

Reddy, the 42-year-old chief of the YSR Congress, was on the seventh day of his indefinite fast.

Reports quoted doctors as saying that Reddy will be monitored in the hospital for 24 hours.

Reddy has been targeting Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu for not pushing for special status for the state, which, he said, was promised when Andhra Pradesh was bifurcated to create a separate Telangana.

He had challenged  Naidu to press the Centre to grant what was promised to the state or withdraw support to the Modi Government.
