He was speaking to the media after enquiring about the health condition of G. Venu Kumar, a post-graduate and government job aspirant from Kotha Laxmipuram village, who is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Khammam. Former Khammam MP Nama Nageswara Rao and others were also present.
According to BRS leaders, Venu Kumar allegedly attempted to end his life by consuming a poisonous substance on Saturday. His condition was stated to be stable.
