Finally, after 11 days, TDP MP C.M. Ramesh has ended his indefinite fast-unto-death protest in Kadapa. AP CM Nara Chandrababu Naidu today met CM Ramesh and persuaded him to end his protest. Doctors said that CM Ramesh's health has been weakening for the last few days.
CM Ramesh began his protest on 20th June, demanding a steel plant in Kadapa. The demand was part of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act 2014. CM Ramesh's protest gained nationwide attention. Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Karunanidhi's daughter Kanimozhi visited Ramesh and extended DMK party's support for the cause.
Speaking on the occasion, Chandrababu Naidu said that the MECON report highlighted the feasibility of the Kadapa steel plant proposal. He also said that his government will also channelize the infrastructure, water and power resources required for the plant.
On the other hand, CM Ramesh said that he is thoroughly convinced with Chandrababu's three proposals for the setting up of the Kadapa steel plant, which convinced him to end his fast: 1) Centre must come forward to set up the steel plant itself. 2) The state and union governments must set up the plant on a 50-50 basis. 3) The state government will take the entire responsibility of setting up the steel plant.
