File picture of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy
The glucose level of YSR Congress chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has gone down as his indefinite fast in protest against the move to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh completed its fifth day on Thursday.
"A health check-up has been done and his glucose level is decreasing while blood pressure and pulse rate are normal," a senior jail official told PTI. He said the Prison Medical Officer is supervising his health condition.
A large number of supporters gathered at the Chanchalguda Jail amid reports that Mr Reddy may be shifted to hospital. Police has stepped up security around the jail and barricaded roads near it.
The jailed Kadapa MP, facing corruption cases, launched an indefinite fast seeking "justice for Seemandhra people" last Sunday.
