Former Congress MP Jagan Mohan Reddy arrived in Delhi on Tuesday morning to hold a one-day protest fast to highlight the plight of Andhra Pradesh farmers and oppose the Krishna water dispute tribunal verdict.
Former Andhra chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy's son is apparently set to embarrass the Congress yet again by his latest move as he reached the national capital with 1,500 farmers in a special train from Secunderabad.
The former Kadapa MP would sit on a fast at Jantar Mantar. Over half-a-dozen Congress MLAs, who have been loyal to Jagan, would also participate in the hunger strike, while more leaders were on their way to Delhi to join the young leader.
Jagan's fast is to highlight the adverse impact of Krishna water dispute tribunal verdict on Andhra Pradesh and the farmers residing around the Krishna delta.
Jagan and Congress have been at loggerheads ever since the death of his father. He recently resigned as the Lok Sabha Member and quit Congress alleging humiliation by the party high command.
