| In what could be a major embarrassment for the Congress, at least 20 party MLAs, two MPs and 2 MLCs were today present at former party MP Jagan Mohan Reddy's one-day fast here to protest the "injustice" meted out to Andhra Pradesh in the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal award.
Jagan, who had announced his plans to launch a new party, is on a fast at Jantar Mantar here along with his supporters which includes two Congress MPs Sabbam Hari and Rajamohan Reddy, and at least 20 Congress MLAs. Leaders from other political parties in Andhra Pradesh were also present at the dharna site.
Two MLAs from film-star turned politician Chiranjeevi's Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) – Shoba Naga Reddy and K Rama Reddy, and TDP's Bal Naga Reddy and Prassana Kumar Reddy also attended the fast, which coined the slogan 'farmers' right, Andhra Pradesh fight' and 'our water our right'.
