Despite ailing health, T.N. Congress MP Sasikanth Senthil's hunger strike continues for the third day, demanding adequate funding for Samagra Shiksha. The Tiruvallur Government Hospital, where he was being treated, shifted him to the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital in Chennai.

The parliamentarian is reportedly refusing any medical treatment unless the demand is met. Earlier, the Kongu Velalar Education Trust (KVET) had appealed to Mr. Senthil to end his hunger strike, saying they would join hands with the Congress MP's hunger strike.

According to sources, the KVET has asked the Tiruvallur Collector to intervene and resolve the issue at the earliest. Medical staff at the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital have said the MP is being monitored by endocrinologists and a team of doctors specializing in nutrition.

The Congress MP's hunger strike has gained widespread attention, and conversations are ongoing on social media platforms, urging the government to address the MP's demands.

Amidst this ongoing strike, it will be interesting to see how the issue unfolds and if the government will take action to meet the MP's demands, thereby putting an end to the hunger strike.
