He suggested the ruling body to keep aside politics and to focus on development of the town. He asked the officials to make efforts to get more funds in coordination with the temple authorities, for conducting Maha Sivaratri jatara on a grand scale.

With an investment of Rs 42 crore, Mission Bhagiratha works are about to start in the town. Once the works are completed, there will be water in Gudi Cheruvu for 365 days. Very soon 100-bed hospital will come into utility in Vemulawada town, the MLA announced.
