Hyderabad: BRS Legislature Party (BRSLP) deputy leader T Harish Rao and Jangaon MLA Palla Rajeshwar Reddy on Tuesday visited the family of Telangana activist and party worker Laxman Goud at Konne village in Bachannapet mandal of Jangaon district. They paid tributes to Laxman Goud and handed over financial assistance on behalf of the BRS.
Harish Rao said the party would stand by the family, while Palla Rajeshwar Reddy promised to provide a job to Laxman’s wife and take responsibility for the education of his children. They criticised Congress leaders for politicising the death instead of extending support to the bereaved family.
Speaking on the occasion, Harish Rao said the family explained how a series of setbacks had pushed Laxman into financial distress. His JCB machine was seized in a mining case after the Congress government came to power and remained at a police station for months. Heavy penalties made its release difficult, adding to his debts.
Laxman cultivated his own seven acres of land and another six acres on lease. The crop failed due to a lack of irrigation water from the Devadula project, inadequate power supply and a failed borewell, the family told the BRS leaders.
Harish Rao said the family also faced difficulties after ancestral land, held by three generations, was placed on the prohibited list following a claim by another person. This prevented Laxman from selling the land to repay his debts and added to his distress, he said, recounting the family’s account.
