MRPS president forcibly shifted to hospital

Police personnel stormed on his camp in wee hours of Saturday

The police personnel in a well planned operation in the wee hours of Saturday shifted MRPS founder Manda Krishna to Gandhi Medical Hospital breaking his indefinite fast that entered ninth day. There was heavy presence of MRPS cadres around the huge house in Lakshmi Nagar where he had parked himself for his fast unto death demanding categorization of Scheduled Castes and reservations in tune with their population.

Nearly one hundred police personnel with women police stormed the building at around 1.15am on Saturday. As one team rushed into the complex, another team picked up all those who opposed their movement clearing the route for Krishna to be brought down from the second floor. The fasting leader was lifted into a 108 ambulance and whisked away to Gandhi Medical Hospital.

Reacting over the police action, Krishna speaking to media on Saturday evening said that a massive rally would be taken out from Indira Park on May 24 and lay siege to Chief Minister, Dr.YS Rajasekhara Reddy's camp residence. He urged the supporters to refrain from showing their protest in any manner till May 24. He demanded that the Chief Minister to use his good offices to ensure that a Bill was introduced in Parliament before May 9. He further demanded that until such time, as the process of categorization was completed, admissions in educational institutions and recruitment be suspended to ensure that Scheduled Castes did not lose the benefit of reservations.
