Ex-minister Bacchu Kadu's health worsens amid hunger strike
Amravati, June 11 (UNI) Former state minister Bachu Kudu's health worsened on Wednesday on the fourth day of his ongoing hunger strike in Amravati district of Maharshtra.
According to reports, his weight has dropped by 2 kg, blood pressure has fallen, and his blood sugar levels have risen, raising serious concerns about his condition. Despite medical advice to take medication, Kudu has refused full treatment.
District Collector Ashish Yarikar and district Superintendent of Police Vishal Anand personally visited Kudu to persuade him to seek medical care. Following their intervention, Kudu agreed to take blood pressure medication but remains steadfast in continuing his protest.
During their visit to the hunger strike site, the officials discussed Kudu's demands, which include a general loan waiver, a monthly honorarium of Rs 5,000, Rs 6,000 per month for disabled individuals, and 17 other demands.
The protest has garnered widespread support across the state. Senior Nationalist Congress Party leader Sharad Pawar reached out to Kudu via phone to inquire about his health. Additionally, MLA Rohit Pawar is scheduled to join and support the hunger strike on June 11 at Guru Kunj Mozari.
Kudu's determination highlights the growing pressure on authorities to respond to the protesters' demands amid rising public attention.
