Revolutionary Telugu balladeer and vocal Naxal activist Gummadi Vittal Rao, popularly known as Gadar, will conduct a one-day fast in New Delhi next week in support of the Telangana movement.

The fast, to be held at the Jantar Mantar, would see a large number of students and politicians, Dr Sangam Prithviraj, chief of the Students Joint Action Committee for Telangana confirmed.

We are in talks with all political parties and would like those leaders who
have resigned to take part in this programme, Dr Prithviraj said.

He, however, said that he was disappointed with the rapid pace at which the political JAC is changing its statements.

In the morning, they speak of protests and in the evening they speak differently. The students will continue the protest irrespective of the political JAC says, Dr Prithviraj said, adding that there needs to be continuity and a break can derail the momentum.
