When "there is so much happening in the state", and when the ordinance on convicted lawmakers can be revoked, why the Centre could not reverse, in the same way, the decision to divide Andhra Pradesh, he asked.
Jagan had earlier launched an indefinite fast against the bifurcation at the Chanchalguda Jail where he was lodged as an undertrial in a disproportionate assets case, but it was broken on the fifth day after he was hospitalised.
Today, YSRCP activists gathered at Jagan's Lotus Pond residence here as he began the fast at 11.30 am. Party MP Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy and other leaders flanked him on the specially erected `deeksha' platform.
Meanwhile, the bandh against the bifurcation entered second day in coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema. Andhra Pradesh Non-Gazetted Officers (APNGOs) and other united-AP supporters have called for a 48-hour bandh, while YSRCP has called for a 72-hour shut-down in the non-Telangana regions.
