Hyderabad, March 11 Telangana Jagruthi president K Kavitha called off her indefinite fast in support of the displaced people of a land parcel in Khammam district on Wednesday after the state government handed over land deeds to eligible beneficiaries.
Former High Court Judge Justice V Eswaraiah offered lemon juice to Kavitha and Dharma Samaj party leader Visharadan Maharaj here in the evening, marking the end of their fast.
Later, Kavitha told reporters that she was only pausing her struggle and not stopping it until those whose houses at Velugumatla in Khammam district were demolished on February 24, get "complete justice".
She said a "fact-finding team" would be appointed to ascertain whether "complete justice" is meted out or not.
She began an indefinite fast on Monday night in Khammam, about 200 kms from Hyderabad, in support of the displaced people.
The Telangana police on Tuesday foiled Kavitha's indefinite fast in Khammam and shifted her to Hyderabad.
The state government on Wednesday handed over land deeds and houses under the 'Indiramma' housing scheme to 311 people at an event in Khammam.
State Information and Public Relations Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy said that houses under the 'Indiramma' scheme would be provided to 101 other displaced people.
Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and state Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao were also present on the occasion.
Meanwhile, BRS Working President K T Rama Rao demanded that the government provide land deeds to the displaced people at the same land parcel where their houses were demolished, and also offer compensation of Rs three lakh per family.
The BRS would raise the issue in the coming budget session of the assembly, he added.
Revenue Minister Srinivas Reddy had earlier said that some persons had deceived poor people at Velugumatla in Khammam district by collecting money on the false promise of providing deeds for the huts erected by them in a land parcel.
