The Telugu Desam Party President N Chandrababu Naidu on his massive walkathon, 'Vastunna Meekosam, the last 117 days relaxed on Sunday (January 27), owing to persistent persuasion from well wishers. The leader relaxed for a day today after walking across Krishna District.

According to original plans he was to wind up his first phase of walkathon on the Republic day after commencing his walk to drive away corruption on Gandhi Jayanti.

Party sources claim that the leaders was suffering from acute back ache and leg pain, which was predominant the last two days when he was walking only short distances. Originally the leader was covering an approximate 20 kms per day.

Today medical experts would be conducting various trails on him at his camp office and submit their report on the intensities of the injuries while suggesting the treatment required. However the leader ascertained that this is only a temporary setback and he would resume his padayatra, immediately.

The irony of the walkathon is that as the TDP leader is forced to relax, Sharmila (YSRCP supremo's sibling) has been given a green signal by her doctors that she is fit for continuing her padayatara which she had left midway due to a knee injury, followed by a surgery. (Wishesh AarKay)
