YSR Congress party president and chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy might be a good leader, but his party MLAs from Narsipatnam and Pendurthi are very bad and they were responsible for the death of Dalit doctor K Sudhakar due to heart attack last week.
This was the comment made by Sudhakar’s mother Lakshmi Bai at a press conference during the visit of Telugu Desam Party general secretary Nara Lokesh to Sudhakar’s residence to call on his family.
She said Jagan was a good person, but the two MLAs from his party – Narsipatnam MLA Ganesh and Pendurthi MLA Adeep Raju were responsible for the untimely death of her son. She described Narsipatnam MLA as a land grabber.
“I will continue my fight till those who were responsible for my son’s death get punished and justice is done to my family. I will not die till then,” she said.
Lakshmi Bai said not a single person from the ruling party or the government called on her family and consoled her.
“I am happy that Lokesh has come all the way to pay condolences to my family,” she said.
Earlier in the day, Lokesh assured the deceased doctor's mother all support from the TDP in order to continue their united struggle until justice was done to them and the guilty persons were brought to book.
Lauding the doctor's mother for her courage in the face of her son's death, Lokesh said Sudhakar did not die a natural death. Just for asking for face mask and PPE kits, the Dalit doctor was hunted down, targeted, beaten up, tonsured, suspended and paraded on the roads of the port city.
“It was non-stop harassment by the Jagan Reddy Government that killed the doctor,” he alleged.
