Senior BJP leader and ex-Minister in Andhra Pradesh, Pydikondala Manikyala Rao succumbed to COVID-19 on Saturday. After contracting the virus, the BJP leader was initially admitted to a hospital in Eluru. However, as the symptoms deteriorated, he was shifted to a hospital in Vijayawada a week ago, where he was put on ventilator support, after developing breathlessness.
Several political leaders took to Twitter to convey their condolences to the Ex-Minister’s family.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy too expressed grief over the demise of Manikyala Rao and directed the District Collector of West Godavari to conduct the leader’s last rites with stat honours.
Manikyala Rao started his career as a photographer and forayed into politics later. He won a majority in Tadepalligudem, West Godavari district in his first attempt, and went on to serve Andhra Pradesh as the Cabinet Minister for Endowments. The leader later served as the Andhra Pradesh State General Secretary for the BJP.
