telangana: Kishan Reddy concludes 24-hour fast in support of unemployed youth

Hyderabad: Union Minister and BJP Telangana unit president G Kishan Reddy on Thursday concluded his 24-hour fast against the BRS government’s alleged negligence towards unemployed youth.

Former Union Minister Prakash Javadekar, who is BJP’s election in-charge for Telangana, offered lime juice to Kishan Reddy marking the conclusion of the fast.

Reddy began his fast on Wednesday at the Dharna Chowk here.

However, he was “forcibly” shifted by police from the Dharna Chowk Wednesday evening for “continuing” the protest beyond the permitted time.

Mild tension prevailed at the Dharna Chowk on Wednesday evening as BJP activists raised slogans and opposed the police action even as Reddy was shifted to the state BJP headquarters.
