An Altruist
Mr. B.Narasimha Reddy Pulivendula
I came to know Sri late Y.S.Chinna Konda Reddy in 1964. He was the president of Pulivendla Panchayat. I was the village surpunch for Ramireddypalle and Dr. D.N. Reddy was Samithi president. I used to see Mr. Reddy often during the meetings. We were members of the Finance Standing Committee. He was courteous, friendly and generous. When we met in conferences, he used to talk about social service and other services that we could do. He believed that everyone should have devotion and commitment while doing social service. He was condemning all social evils. Though he was a Christian, he never looked down other religions. In 1964, when Dr. D.N. Reddy was elected as District Parishad Chairman, I was Vice President of Samithi. I had to take over as the incharge president of Samithi. Sri Nagi Reddy who was the Ex President of Vempalli samithi was proposed to be the President of Samithi. At that time, Sri Nagi Reddy needed the support of all the members of Samithi. We went to Mr.Y.S.C. Reddy to ask for his support. He said, “Mr. Nagireddy, I heard that you were soft and lenient to your Samithi staff. If you do that, officers and people will never do their work properly. You have to be strict to them in their duties.” Mr. Nagi Reddy promised him that he is going to follow his word. Later on, Mr. Reddy supported Sri Nagi Reddy. Basing on all the incidents mentioned above, I understood that Mr. Reddy had given the utmost importance to discipline and dedication to work. Let his soul rest in peace with God. 84
