"fast"

Atishi's indefinite hunger strike to demand water for Delhi, which is under grip of water crisis, entered the third day

She along with her mother Y.S. Vijayamma continued the fast at their Lotus Pond residence in upscale Banjara Hills.

The platform, launched in September last year, is up for use by farmers of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and parts of Karnataka

"India is in an agitated mode, particularly in Delhi. They (BJP government) are doing drama in the name of discussion," DMK president MK Stalin said.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday appealed to people to fast wherever they are in support of protesting farmers, and asserted that farmers will win in the end.

Thousands of farmers have been protesting on the outskirts of Delhi since late November 26 demanding the government to repeal the newly enacted farm laws.

Nath while addressing a poll meeting on Sunday in Gwalior's Dabra town, where the Congress is up against Imarti Devi, said his party candidate was a "simple person" unlike his opponent who is an "item".
