Former mnister and Congress MLA Komatireddy Venkat Reddy's indefinite fast at Nalgonda for carving of a separate Telangana state has entered third day today on 03-11-11. Venkat Reddy lost about 4 kgs of weight and his BP, Sugar levels also have fallen down. Family members and followers are worried about the health condition of the fasting Congress leader.
Speaking to the media, Venkat Reddy said that he has taken up the indefinite fast to put pressure on the Congress high command to take an early and positive decision about the contentious Telangana issue. There is no question of breaking the fast , till the center comes out with a positive response towards Telangana. He said that more than his health condition, what is worrying him is the fast eroding popularity of Congress party in the region. People are still hopeful that Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, who has given assurance of a separate Telangana on December 9, 2009, will definitely stick to her word. "I too am hopeful that she wouldn't disappoint the people of Telangana," he added.
