The six Seemandhra Congress MPs who stunned the Congress high command by issuing a no-confidence notice against the UPA government in the winter session of Parliament are all set to embark on a two-day fast in Hyderabad from January 3.
This is aimed at putting pressure on the Assembly which is resuming the session on January 3 to reject the AP Reorganization Bill-2013. The MPs have also reportedly urged the members of the Assembly to adopt a resolution opposing the division of the state.
The six MPs who are planning the fast at Indira Park are Lagadapati Rajagopal, Vundavalli Arun Kumar, G V Harsha Kumar, Sabbam Hari, A Sai Pratap and Rayapati Sambasiva Rao and sources say that Lagadapati Rajagopal, Vundavalli Arun Kumar, Rayapati Sambasiva Rao have opened communication channels with BJP even as Purandareshwari and Kanumuri Bapiraju have reportedly confirmed their berths.
Police are yet to grant permission to these MPs from Seemandhra for staging a protest at Indira Park on January 3 and 4 even as they written to city police commissioner Anurag Sharma seeking permission to hold a two-day protest against state bifurcation starting from January 3 at Indira Park.
