TDP leader Kodela Siva Prasad Rao committed suicide on Monday and the doctor declared him to be dead. This former speaker has been with TDP since 1983 and he has been one of the most loyal politicians for TDP and didn’t shift sides. In the 2019 elections things got changed and he lost his place to Ambati Rambabu from YSR Congress party.
Kodela Siva Prasad Rao, who is popularly known as “Palanadu Tiger”, was seen depressed from the past few days. Apart from losing in the elections, he has been tagged with issues raised by YSR Congress party on K-Tax and accepting money for doing favor.
There is a buzz in the media that Kodela actually attempted suicide couple of weeks back, but the family members provided medical support on right time and saved him. Kodela attempted suicide again on Monday and he was declared dead by the doctors. Several TDP leaders expressed their condolence. May his soul rest in peace.
