BRS working president KT Rama Rao blamed Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and his brothers for driving former Sarpanch P Sai Reddy of Kondareddypally, the Chief Minister’s native village, to suicide. He said Sai Reddy’s death was not a suicide, but a murder committed by the Chief Minister and his brothers, citing the persistent harassment faced by the 85-year-old leader.
Sai Reddy, who served as Sarpanch of Kondareddypalli for two terms, reportedly endured months of harassment, leading to his suicide by consuming pesticide. The harassment stemmed from orders to build a veterinary clinic and a wall blocking access to Sai Reddy’s house, constructed 40 years ago.
“Sai Reddy gave an interview to a YouTube channel six months ago against the current Congress government, and his suicide note explicitly blames the Chief Minister’s brothers for his death,” Rama Rao pointed out. He demanded that the police register a case and investigate the allegations. “This is not democracy but dictatorship and tyranny. The Chief Minister and his brothers have turned the State into anarchy. Revanth Reddy is responsible for the former Sarpanch’s death,” he added.
Rama Rao stated that the recent incidents of attack on tribal women at Lagacherla and suicide of former Sarpanch at Kondareddypally in the Chief
Minister’s own constituency, are clear signals for the growing attrocities of Revanth Reddy’s brothers. He sought urged immediate action and justice for Sai Reddy to restore faith in governance.
Senior BRS leaders, including former Ministers T Harish Rao and S Niranjan Reddy also condemned the circumstances leading to the suicide of former Sarpanch Sai Reddy from Kondareddypally village. They said Sai Reddy’s death indicates the deteriorating state of governance in Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s own constituency.
“The suicide is evidence of the anarchy perpetrated by the Chief Minister’s brothers in their constituency,” Harish Rao said, demanding legal action against those responsible. He demanded for filing a case with murder charges against Revanth Reddy’s brother for allegedly abetting the former sarpanch’s suicide. He called for speedy justice for Sai Reddy and measures to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
Niranjan Reddy also expressing dismay over the incident, which reportedly occurred after Sai Reddy’s house was deprived passage by constructing a wall for the adjancent veterinary clinic. “This tragic incident highlights the loss of value for human lives and aspirations under Congress rule,” he said, urging accountability for all involved in the former sarpanch’s death.
