Naidu observes day-long hunger strike in jail

Kakinada: In a protest against his arrest by the ACB in the skill development scam case, former Chief Minister and Telugu Desam national president N. Chandrababu Naidu on Monday observed a day-long hunger strike with a slogan of ‘Satameva Jayate’ inside the Rajamahendravaram Central Jail, where he is lodged for three weeks now after being sent to remand by the Special Court for ACB in Vijayawada.

Earlier, the opposition leader informed the jail authorities not to serve any food to him as he would go on a hunger strike from 10 am to 5 pm on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti. After 5 pm, the jail authorities served him home-made food.
The authorities also served notices to Naidu, stating that observing a hunger strike was against the prison rules and he should abide by the regulations.
