While speaking to reporters, Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee working president N Tulasi Reddy said, "Congress party Kadapa district vice president Sirigireddy Gangireddy's sudden death is very shocking. He was a very active worker, good orator, and good worker for the party. He used to work on labour issues. He was a brave person. But he lost emotional balance after knowing that he is corona positive, and jumped before a train and and died."
"It is very hard to digest that fact. Our heartfelt condolences to his family. I pray that his soul rest in peace. His demise is a great loss to Congress party and labourers," he added. (ANI)
