Demanding Karnataka government to lift the ban on toddy-tapping and its sales in Karnataka, the Kalyana Karnataka Arya Ediga Kendra Samiti will launch an indefinite hunger strike in Kalaburagi from June 20.
“Once I go on an indefinite hunger strike, I will not even drink a drop of water. Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai and his government will be responsible if anything happens to my health,” Pranavananda Swami, national president of the Arya Ediga Mahamandali said in a press conference here on Sunday.
Pranavananda Swami stated that only he will be observing the indefinite hunger protest, if the government tried to suppress their democratic right by stopping them from launching an indefinite hunger protest, the other members of the Samiti would also observe hunger protest, he warned.
