Rajanna-Sircilla: Congress MLC T Jeevan Reddy and YSRTP leader Sharmila and their followers were in for a shock, when they were told not to politicise the issue of suicide by Naveen in Sircilla by none other than their family members on Sunday.
The family members told the visiting politicians with folded hands to leave them alone and not to politicise the issue of suicide. Naveen had hanged himself and in a suicide note left behind claimed that he could not get a job. However, there were false reports doing rounds on social media platforms that Naveen had ended his life only due to the TSPSC exam paper leak scandal that broke out last week.
His father Nagabhushanam, had however, categorially told Jeevan Reddy and Sharmila that his son had not even applied for the TSPSC group one exams as stated in the false social media reports. He also wanted the politicians not to call on his family saying that the local MLA and IT Minister KT Rama Rao had already spoken to them and assured to take care of their family.
On Sunday morning, Congress MLC T Jeevan Reddy and his followers went to Naveen’s house and were told not to politicise the issue. Later YSRTP leader Sharmila too trooped in with some of her followers only to be told to keep away from the family.
Family members of C Naveen Kumar, who committed suicide unable to get the job, turned away the political leaders, who visited their home to console them in Sircialla town on Sunday. They requested the political leaders not to politicize the death of their ward for their political gains and spread the wrong message into the public since Naveen did not die due to TSPSC paper leakage.
Political leaders would come and go but they would do nothing. Ultimately, Rama Rao was the only person who could protect their interest, they said. The messages being circulated on social media groups such as WhatsApp and facebook, was spreading a wrong message among the public, they said. Before leaving the spot, Sharmila said that though Nagabushanam was a BRS activist, she consoled the family on humanitarian grounds. It may be recalled here that Rama Rao, who spoke to Nagabushanam over phone on Saturday, has assured all support to the family members of Naveen.
A resident of BY Nagar in Sircilla town, Naveen Kumar committed suicide by hanging himself in his room on Friday. In a note, he said that he had decided to end life, unable to get a job and nobody was responsible for his death.
