KANPUR:Social activist Tara Patkar along with members of the Bundeli Samaj, who have been on a fast for 447 days seeking statehood for Bundelkhan­d, sent birthday wishes written in blood to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In the letter, activists wished the PM and urged him to keep his promise and make Bundelkhan­d a separate state.

Patkar, the man behind the Roti Bank said the birthday wish written in blood would draw the PM’s attention towards the longpendin­g demand. He, along with many others, is on an indefinite fast at Alha chowk in Mahoba. “We want to tell the PM how deeply the people of Bundelkhan­d love him and he lives in their hearts,” he said.

District president of Bundelkhan­d Kranti Dal Deependra Singh Parihar, Hari Om Nishad, Khursheed Alam, Amar Chand Vishwakarm­a were among those who wrote in blood to the prime minister.
