Health and medical services minister D L Ravindra Reddy, who represents Mydhukoor constituency in Rayalaseema, threw a gauntlet before Kadapa leader Y S Jaganmohan Reddy for a show of strength in the state Assembly.
Referring to Jaganmohan Reddy's
hunger strike camp, the minister challenged the Jagan camp to exhibit his strength not on the banks of the Krishna river but on the floor of the House.
All those attending Jagan's camp were his activists and not one farmer can be found there, the minister alleged at the state Secretariat on Tuesday.
He also commented sarcastically that those who knew nothing about farmers' penurious status or distressed condition had no right to comment on them.
Meanwhile, reports are coming in that the number of MLAs who had visited the hunger strike camp had crossed 24, and that more than one and a half lakh people have converged on the banks of the river Krishna.
