Peddireddi calls on family of deceased party leader at Kuppam

Energy Minister Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy’s sudden visit to Kuppam, the bastion of TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu, on Sunday gathered political overtones, following the presence of Mr. Naidu in Chittoor district.

Taking a break from his official visit to Bangarupalem mandal 20 km away, Mr. Ramachandra Reddy made his way to Kuppam, where he called on the family members of Parthasarathy, former chairman of the local Tirupati Gangamamba temple who committed suicide on April 7, citing financial crisis due to huge debts he ran up to get the temple board post.

Party cadres said that Mr. Reddy had extended his “personal assistance” to the family members and promised to take care of the education of the son of the deceased.
