Former Minister and YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) MLC Botcha Satyanarayana collapsed during a rally held in Cheepurupalli, Vizianagaram district, on Wednesday (May 4, 2025). The event was part of the ‘Vennupotu Dinam’ protests organised by the YSRCP to mark the formation of one year of the NDA government, following a call by the YSRCP president and former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Mr. Satyanarayana, who is in-charge of Cheepurupalli Assembly Constituency, was addressing a large gathering of protestors from atop a vehicle when he suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed.
Former MP Bellana Chandrasekhar and other party members, who accompanied him, quickly rushed him to the YSRCP camp office in Garividi. A team of doctors were also rushed to the senior leader.
Local party leaders opined that the incident may have been caused by heatstroke. For the past few days, day temperatures have been hovering around 35 to 40 degree Celsius across many places in Uttarandhra districts.
