Hyderabad: TRS President K Chandrasekhar
Rao, who is on a fast-unto-death for a separate Telangana
state, was admitted to a government hospital here on Thursday after
being shifted from Khammam.
Rao was brought to the Nizam's Institute of Medical
Science (NIMS) this morning from the Khammam Government
Hospital, where he was undergoing treatment for the last four
days.
The former Union Minister is being treated in the
Acute Medical Care (AMC) ward of NIMS by a special team of
doctors, official sources said.
Rao was put in Khammam sub-jail after being arrested
ahead of his proposed fast-unto-death at Siddipet in Medak
district earlier this week.
The TRS chief called off his fast in two todays after
being admitted in the Khammam hospital, but resumed it
following adverse reaction from Telangana protagonists.
The TRS President was administered saline, allegedly
against his wishes, at the Khammam hospital yesterday after
his health deteriorated following his indefinite fast.
Meanwhile, a large number of TRS leaders and activists
gathered at NIMS.

take leaders of the ruling Congress in Andhra Pradesh to task
if they delayed initiating the process for formation of a
separate Telangana.
The agitation by TRS workers and students for a
separate state has turned violent many times in the last four
days.
The house of former Union Minister and Congress leader
Renuka Choudhary at Khammam was attacked yesterday allegedly
by activists of the regional party.
Former Congress MLA J Venkat Rao's office in Khammam
district was also attacked.
