Hyderabad: The health of TRS leader K Chandrasekhar Rao is deteriorating due to his fast-unto-death but he is refusing medical treatment, a senior government official has said.
"Doctors, who came from Hyderabad, have examined him. They said he needs medical treatment immediately. He has not taken any food and is not cooperating. He is refusing treatment," Khammam district collector Usha Rani told reporters at Khammam last night.
"He says he has been misunderstood over continuing the fast. We are trying to convince him. We are even ready to shift him to a super-speciality hospital," she said.
The local court and the State Human Rights Commission have directed that Rao be provided treatment quickly, she said.
The collector called on Rao at the government hospital at Khammam where he is being treated.
Rao had called off his fast-unto-death at the hospital on Monday night but resumed it following criticism from Telangana protagonists for withdrawing the protest within two days.
Expressing anger over the TRS President's decision to withdraw the fast, students and other supporters of separate statehood demand declared that they would take ahead their movement without the involvement of TRS. In the wake of the criticism, Rao asserted that he did not call off the fast.
