Action demanded against Kothagudem MLA Vanama
The government has come under stringent criticism from the Congress over the delay in arresting Vanama Raghavendra, son of Kothagudem MLA of the ruling TRS Vanama Venkateshwara Rao, who allegedly abetted the suicide of a family in Paloncha in Kothagudem district.
In a series of press conferences addressed by senior Congress leaders, including Member of Parliament Komatireddy Venkata Reddy, Congress Legislature Party leader Bhatti Vikramarka and Madhu Yaskhi Goud, the leaders said it was heart-wrenching to see the selfie video of Ramakrishna, who ended his life along with his wife and two young daughters.
In the video being circulated on social media, Mr. Ramakrishna accused Mr. Raghavender of demanding that Ramakrishna bring his wife along to settle the family issue in which the MLA’s son has no locus standi. “No man would like to hear such words about his wife from a third person. I’m a common man and I can’t fight against such powerful people. Feeling humiliated I am committing suicide along with my family,” he said in the video.

The Shivamogga district judiciary and administration jointly launched 1,234 legal literacy clubs across schools in one go in Shivamogga on January 22. The clubs, aimed at spreading awareness about rights, duties and laws among students, have been set up in select government, aided and private schools as well as pre-university colleges across the district.
