Revanth Pays Tributes to Narsampet MLA Madhava Reddy’s Mother Kantamma
The Chief Minister paid floral tributes to Kantamma at the ceremony held in Vaddepalli, Hanumakonda district.
WARANGAL: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy visited Hanamkonda district on Wednesday to attend the 10th-day memorial service of Donthi Kanthamma, mother of Congress MLA Donthi Madhava Reddy from Narsampet.
The Chief Minister, accompanied by revenue minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, welfare minister Adluri Laxman Kumar, and CM adviser Vem Narendar Reddy, arrived by helicopter at the Arts and Science College grounds before proceeding to a private function hall in Waddepally. He paid floral tributes to Kanthamma’s portrait and offered condolences to the MLA and his family members.
The Chief Minister spent around half an hour in the district before returning to Hyderabad. Panchayat raj minister Seethakka, MPs Porika Balram Naik and Kadiyam Kavya, MLC Baswaraju Saraiah, and MLAs Naini Rajendar Reddy, Revuri Prakash Reddy, K.R. Nagaraju, and Yashashwini Reddy received him at the helipad.
However, endowments minister Konda Surekha, who was in the city and aware of the CM’s visit, neither met him nor attended the memorial service.
Police commissioner Sunpreet Singh and senior officials personally supervised the elaborate security arrangements. Dog squads and bomb disposal units conducted checks at the Arts and Science College and the function hall as a precautionary measure.
Meanwhile, Congress leaders and supporters of Donthi Madhava Reddy expressed happiness over the CM’s gesture, viewing it as an attempt to mend ties with the MLA, who had reportedly been upset with the party leadership for some time.
