HYDERABAD: BRS president and former chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has announced Rs 2.25 crore financial assistance to the family of senior party leader and former MLA Peddi Sudarshan Reddy, who recently died after an illness. The decision was taken after consultations with senior party leaders and key leaders of the erstwhile Warangal district.
Under the assistance package, Rs 1 crore each will be provided to Sudarshan Reddy’s two children to support their future needs. In addition, Rs 25 lakh will be deposited in a bank account in the name of his elderly mother, Amruthamma, to take care of her needs and welfare.
