Jupally along with Panchayat Raj Minister Danasari Anasuya Seethakka, Bhupalapally MLA Gandra Satyanarayana Rao and Vardhannapet MLA Nagaraju visited the world famous Sri Ramalingeswara Swamy temeple in Venkatapur mandal. On this occasion, the priests of the temple welcomed the minister with Purnakumbha and offered Vedic blessings. Later, the Minister said that the Ramappa temple, which was built 800 years ago, is still intact today.
The Kakatiyas used their intelligence to carve sculptures out of huge stones and arrange them wonderfully. He said that steps are being taken to provide minimum facilities to the tourists visiting the area and it is heartening that there is plenty of water in Ramappa Lake. He added that MLAs and Ministers should visit tourist areas at least once every month, this would help in mental relaxation.

Minister Seethakka said that a report has been submitted to the minister by the district administration to take up development works with Rs 90 crore, and she asked the minister to construct the Uyyala bridge in Ramappa Lake as it attracts tourists 14 years ago as Uyyala bridge was constructed in Lucknow.
She said that works are going on under the Prasad scheme in the Ramappa area and there is a possibility of attracting tourists if special arrangements are made in the Parihaka areas of the Godavari. While there are Ramappa and Lucknavaram lakes in the district, steps will be taken to establish a memorial forest in Sri Sammakka Saralamma area of Medaram, she explained. She said that the reservoir will be developed with all amenities along with providing all the facilities to the tourists in Ramappa.
