K. Raghu Ramakrishna Raju elected as Deputy Speaker of Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly unopposed.
K. Raghu Ramakrishna Raju, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MLA from Undi constituency, was declared as Deputy Speaker of Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly on Thursday (November 14, 2024) as he was the only one in the fray for the coveted post.
His candidature was endorsed by Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan, IT Minister Nara Lokesh and Visakhapatnam North MLA P. Vishnu Kumar Raju. Speaker Ayyanna Patrudu made the announcement of Mr. Ramakrishna Raju’s election following the zero hour.

“Through several targeted attacks against the minorities in the name of religion, the BJP and the Sangh Parivar organisations are on a mission to fragment the State into religious segments,” said Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader and MP Thol. Thirumavalavan. He headed the protest organised by VCK here on Monday against the BJP and Sangh Parivar organisation for inciting violence based on religion. Speaking there, he said, “The RSS’s plan is specifically to turn Hindus into paupers and the Sangh Parivar organisations through intimidating the minorities, have been trying to incite communal frenzy in the State.”
