Until a few days ago Komatireddy Venkat Reddy would not even dare to visit Nalgonda – his home constituency, without a posse of armed police security. But today, he is sitting on a stage in the heart of Nalgonda town as thousands of Telangana supporters came in from all 10 districts of the region to visit him.
Yesterday’s brickbats have turned into multi-color bouquets, as Komatireddy Venkat Reddy’s fast-unto-death for Telangana entered the second day.
