An angry Dasari lashed out at the government for its undemocratic practices and vowed that no force on earth could prevent him from meeting Mudragadda and expressing solidarity with the fast undertaken by the latter.
As Dasari sat fuming in his hotel room Mudragadda meanwhile called off his strike setting Dasari free.
The veteran director then rushed to Kirlampudi and congratulated the Kapunadu leader. What did Dasari congratulate Mudragadda for?
He had gone there to express solidarity with Mudragadda and the latter had decided to quit the battle without achieving his objectives. Why was Dasari congratulating him then?
