MLA Sayanna’s followers fumed at Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao for failing to arrange state honours to the five-time legislator. They raised ‘KCR down down’ slogans and demanded that state honours should be provided to their leader, being a sitting MLA.
However, the sitting MLA’s family members performed the funeral rites without the state honours at Maredpally crematorium. Ministers Talasani Srinivas Yadav and Malla Reddy tried to pacify the protesters but in vain.
His followers questioned the government as to why could not it provide state honours to a sitting MLA while film actors were also receiving it.
Minister KTR keeps reiterating that their party respects all prominent personalities in Telangana but the BRS could not provide state honours to a sitting MLA, they pointed out.
Seventytwo-year-old Sayanna had been suffering from age-related problems for the last few years. He was rushed to Yashoda hospital on Sunday when his blood sugar levels dropped suddenly and he breathed his last on Monday. Sayanna is survived by wife, three sons and a daughter.
Sayanna began his political career with the TDP. He contested as a legislator on a TDP ticket in 1994, 1999, 2004 and won the elections.
In 2009, he contested but was defeated by Congress candidate Sankar Rao.
After 2014, he joined the BRS and won as the MLA from the Cantonment constituency in 2018 elections.
