Eluru: The leaders of all parties staged a dharna at Potti Sriramulu Statue in Vasanta Mahal centre here on Thursday, protesting against the hunger strike of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

The leaders led by Pratyeka Hoda Sadhana Samiti reached Vasanta Mahal centre and started the dharna. The leaders, Dega Prabhakar (CPI), P Kishore (CPM) and Rajanala Ramamohan Rao (Congress) addressing the dharna criticised that the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi did not allow the no-confidence motion against his government for discussion and now staging the hunger strike.
