Bronze statue of late Thota Sudhakara Prasad unveiled in Visakhapatnam

The Collectorate witnessed an emotionally charged gathering on Sunday as the Andhra Pradesh Revenue Services Association (APRSA) unveiled a bronze statue of its late general secretary, comrade Thota Sudhakara Prasad.

Marking his 25th death anniversary, the event drew employee leaders and dignitaries to honour his supreme sacrifice for employee rights. APRSA State president and AP JAC Amaravati chairman Bopparaju Venkateswarlu unveiled the statue.

Addressing the assembly, Mr. Venkateswarlu recalled how Sudhakara Prasad laid down his life while spearheading agitations against injustices faced by local employees. He noted that the leader famously went on an indefinite hunger strike for temporary workers’ regularisation just a day after his wedding. Mr. Venkateswarlu added that statues are being installed across all districts so future generations can draw inspiration from his selfless stewardship.
