Doctors at the Nizam's Institute Of Medical Sciences stated, on Friday, that the health of Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu has taken a turn for the better after forcefully administering intravenous liquids on Thursday night.
The government had ordered that Naidu be forcefully administered fluids, after doctors had expressed fears that he may slip into coma 'within hours', because of his indefinite hunger strike to press the government to revise its compensation package for rain-hit farmers.
Meanwhile, senior TDP leader K Yerrannaidu vowed that the party will not allow the government to escape its responsibilities towards the rain-hit farmers by forcing an end to Naidu's fast. He stated that the government might be under the false assumption that the TDP has been vanquished by the utilisation of sheer force, and that the party would continue its fight for the farmers of the state. He added that the government may have been patting itself on the back prematurely.
The senior TDP leader told media persons that though the government claimed its relief package was 'excellent' the number of suicides by farmers proved that it was grossly inadequate. Yerrannaidu further added that the chief minister had neither sympathy nor understanding of the farmers and the problems they faced.
