Jagan Mohan Reddy has announced another 'fast' towards the end of January in Tanuku in support of farmers opposing the land acquisition for the new capital.
‘Fasting’ for a cause is a highly powerful instrument introduced by Gandhiji as an instrument of defiance. However, in the hands of our politicians, it has become listless owing to the credibility factor.
Jagan has earlier also fasted for 24 hours and 48 hours in support of Samaikhyandhra and other causes.
His ‘deeksha’ in support of Samaikhyandhra by far was the most important. But it failed to serve any purpose.
Going without food and consuming only water for 24 hrs and 48 hrs might be good for Jagan’s health, other than that they seem to be serving no purpose as Chandrababu seems to be paying no heed to any of Jagan’s objection!
Perhaps, Jagan has got to rethink his political strategy!
