Hyderabad, August 25, 2026: Telangana BJP President N. Ramchander Rao’s 48-hour hunger strike at the party’s state office entered its second day on Tuesday. He launched the protest after police denied permission to hold a demonstration at Dharna Chowk.

Rao is demanding the immediate release of ₹15,000 crore in pending fee reimbursement dues. He has named the protest “Feesula Bakayi – BJP Ladayi”, highlighting the BJP’s demand for clearing the long-pending fee reimbursement arrears.
