Hyderabad (Telangana), April 16 -- : Senior Congress leader V Hanumantha Rao called off his indefinite hunger strike on the fourth day on Thursday after the All India Congress Committee (AICC) Telangana in charge Manickam Tagore convinced Rao to withdraw his fast.

Rao went on an indefinite hunger strike demanding the reinstallation of the Dr. B R Ambedkar statue that was seized by the GHMC officials.

Tagore advised Rao to call off the hunger strike given his deteriorating health and made him drink lemon juice.

This comes after a Congress delegation led by Tagore visited Rao at his residence where the leader was observing the indefinite hunger strike, because of his deteriorating health condition, and spoke to him about the issue.
