Sea of mourners lines Warangal streets for ex-BRS MLA Peddi Sudharshan Reddy's final journey

Former BRS MLA Peddi Sudharshan Reddy, who was admitted to a private hospital here four days ago following serious health complications, died on Friday, BRS sources said. He was 52.

Reddy, who represented Narsampet assembly constituency during 2018-23, was rushed from home to a private hospital at Hanumakonda near Warangal on the morning of July 26.

He was treated for pulmonary embolism and revived after performing CPR. Later, he was admitted to the hospital in Hyderabad for advanced treatment.

BRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao and other party leaders visited the hospital to enquire about his health condition.

Despite the best efforts of doctors, he breathed his last early on Friday, BRS said.

An unprecedented crowd took to the streets during his final journey to pay their homage.

The entire Narsampet has been voluntarily shut. A grass-root leader who spearheaded the Telangana movement in Warangal, Peddi Sudarshan Reddy was liked by many.

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, state BJP president N Ramchander Rao, BRS Working President K T Rama Rao, and other leaders condoled the demise of Sudarshan Reddy.
