Mahabubnagar (Padmavati Colony): “We will continue the ideals of Sri Raja Bahadur Venkata Rama Reddy,” said MLA Sri Yennam Srinivas Reddy while taking part in the 156th birth anniversary celebrations on Friday.

Taking part as a chief guest at the program organised by the Palamuru Reddy Seva Samiti in Padmavathi colony, MLA Srinivas Reddy stated that the ideals of Sri Raja Bahadur Venkata Rama Reddy will be carried forward.

On this occasion, the MLA paid floral tributes at the statue of Raja Bahadur Venkata Rama Reddy located in the Green Belt area of Padmavati Colony, Mahabubnagar city.

Speaking later, he recalled that during a time when there were no facilities for poor students to study, Raja Bahadur Venkata Rama Reddy built a hostel in Hyderabad that welcomed students beyond caste and religion, making education accessible to the underprivileged.
