Papanna was a legendary leader who fought against autocracy in Telangana and rights of weaker sections. In order to implement the ideology of Papanna, the previous BRS government led by the former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao abolished tax on toddy trees and waived all pending taxes of toddy tappers.

Later, Rama Rao participated in the Chandi yagam organized as part of the construction of Markandeya temple in Sircilla.

Speaking on the occasion, the BRS leader hoped that the crisis developed in the textile industry would be solved with the blessings of the goddess Chandi.

Being the local legislature, he would extend all his support for the construction of Markandeya temple, Rama Rao assured.
