AMARAVATI: A young industrialist turned politician Mekapati Goutham Reddy abruptly ended his political journey which he begun with a thumping victory over a political veteran when he breathed his last due to cardiac arrest on Monday.
A pall of gloom descended on Nellore district as the party leaders and workers were seen wailing at the party offices in Atmakur and several other villages in the district. Though, born and brought up in Hyderabad, an ever smiling, Goutham did not require much time to develop bond with people from a completely rural assembly constituency.
