YSR chief threatens indefinite fast from Oct 7

Hyderabad: YSR Congress chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy would go on an indefinite fast at Guntur from October 7 to mount pressure on Centre for granting special status to the state. "The decision to this effect was taken at a high level meeting and we will suggest alternative venue to the officials, if the present venue is not approved," YSRC leader Botsa Satyanarayana said. Reddy planned to hold the fast in Guntur from Monday, but the administration denied permission for it.
