12: 00 pm: Jagan Reddy to address the press shortly Jaganmohan Reddy, who was planning a rally in Hyderabad to protest against the formation of the new state is addressing the press to express his views on the Cabinet’s decision. The YSR Congress chief questioned the rationale of the state being split into two when other movements for separate states had been ignored by the Centre. Like Pallam Raju, he said that the decision to split the state had been taken in haste but he’s not resigning from any post and instead will be going on a hunger strike to protest against the decision. Reddy had earlier gone on a hunger strike in jail which had yielded little but this time he could have a bigger impact given he’s no longer in jail. “I will be sitting on on indefinite protest fast from tomorrow in Hyderabad,” Reddy said and also called for a bandh. Reddy has also said that all MPs from the Seemandhra region should resign in protest. The YSR Congress chief said that there should be some sanity in the manner in which new states were formed and said all parties should come together to oppose the formation of the new state.
