It seems YSR Congress party president Jagan Mohan Reddy couldn’t stop himself from doing deekshas once in a month for one reason or the other. But, it makes the people even his party leader suspect that whether he is really doing hunger strikes for particular cause or as an effort to keep tab on his weight control.

During last 14 months he sat for hunger strikes several times with one or two days’ duration. However, none of his deekshas has served their purpose. He was prepared for an indefinite hunger strike at Guntur demanding special status to the AP state, but postponed it after police denied permission. Then, his party leaders have stated that they will wait until the high court gives it nod for it, but within hours they changed their minds and announced that Jagan Mohan Reddy will be sitting for indefinite hunger strike from October 6th on wards.

In between, Jagan Mohan Reddy is sitting for one day hunger strike at Tanguturu in Prakasham district on 30th September in protest against statement government’s negligence towards tobacco farmers. He will sit for one day deeksha at Tanguturu after visiting families of tobacco farmers, who commit suicides recently.

He might be aware that, Union Minister for Commerce, Nirmala Sitaraman met those tobacco farmers’ families and also tobacco farmers recently and assured them full support on behalf of Government of India. She explained to them about various measures that she took and going to take to resolve their problems. She appealed the tobacco farmers not to commit suicides and promised timely help to tobacco farmers from government of India. But, Jagan Mohan Reddy is sitting for one day deeksha blaming the statement government.
