Andhra special status: CM Naidu to protest by fasting on his birthday today

N Chandrababu Naidu, Andhra Pradesh, CM

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu will observe a day-long fast here on Friday to demand Special Category Status (SCS) to the state.

It is notable that Friday is also Naidu's birthday. Naidu will sit on hunger strike at Indira Gandhi Stadium from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm to pressurise the Centre to grant the SCS to Andhra Pradesh.

The hunger strike will be called 'Dharma Porata Deeksha' or 'Fight for Justice'.

The strategy for the hunger strike was finalised by the Andhra Pradesh Cabinet, chaired by Naidu, on Monday.

Thirteen ministers of Naidu's cabinet will also organise simultaneous hunger strikes in the districts for which they are in-charge ministers. Remaining ministers will take part in the hunger strike along with the Chief Minister.
