YSRCP Leader Dronamraju Srinivasa Rao Dies Of Corona

Former VMRDA chairman and two-time Vizag MLA Dronamraju Srinivasa Rao died today, after recovering from the deadly coronavirus. He was receiving treatment for the post Covid-19 complications in a private hospital in Visakhapatnam for the last two weeks.

After availing the initial home isolation facility, he was shifted to the private hospital. Even after trying all the advanced treatment options, Srinivasa Rao succumbed to the complications on Sunday. YSRCP leaders were closely monitoring the treatment and progress of Srinivasa Rao since he was hospitalized.

Born in a family that was loyal to Congress, Dronamraju shifted his loyalties to YSRCP just before the elections in 2019. He unsuccessfully contested from Vizag South MLA constituency in 2019. However, the YSRCP made him the first chairman of the VMRDA, which replaced the erstwhile Visakhapatnam Urban development Authority (VUDA) by adding about 1,000 square kilometre area in 2018.
