TRS Suspends Vanama Raghavendra Rao Over Palvancha Suicides

The TRS today suspended its party leader Vanama Raghavendra Rao, son of MLA Vanama Venkateswara Rao, for his alleged involvement in the suicides by a businessman and his family in Palvancha of Bhadradri Kothagudem district.

Under TRS supremo and Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao's directions, the TRS leadership suspended Raghavendra Rao from the party with immediate effect.

TRS Working President and Minister K T Rama Rao was reportedly strongly behind the decision to suspend Rao from the party immediately.

The Chief Minister reportedly sought a report on the suicides incident which has led to a political furore in the state.

The opposition parties have been staging protests and slamming the government for failing to take action against Rao, who is absconding. They alleged that the CM was protecting Rao for being the son of an MLA of his party, and the police have been facing the ire of the Congress, the BJP, the CPI, the CPM and the people for failing to take action against Rao.

The police are looking out for Rao for failing to surrender despite his father's promise.
