Former DGP Kottakota Srinivasa Reddy Felicitated in Nellore

The event also marked the release of his poetry collection, “Pumjuthoka Kavitha Samputi.” Speaking at the function, Srinivasa Reddy voiced concern over the lack of employment opportunities for educated youth. “Building massive structures does not mean progress,” he remarked, stressing that human development must take precedence over infrastructure expansion.

He underscored the need to prioritise education and healthcare for genuine development. Referring to Nellore’s legacy of public movements, including the historic anti-arrack agitation, Reddy observed that new social movements may be necessary to correct systemic flaws. He also hinted at his next book, describing it as “a bullet” aimed at exposing failures in governance and public administration.

The event drew several dignitaries, including former MLC Vithapu Balasubrahmanyam, and noted personalities from various walks of life, who praised Reddy’s exemplary service record and his enduring commitment to public welfare.
