Man of Great Integrity
Mr. Sudha Mallikarjuna Rao Sri Durga Auto Motors Founder of SRI SRI SRI Vijayadurga devi Temple, Kadapa
Sri Y.S. Chinna Konda Reddy was a man of great character. He was very brave and was not afraid of anyone except God and himself. Though he spoke with a loud voice, he was soft at heart. Unselfishness, love, kindness and honesty are the qualities reflected in him. As his elder brother who was away from the family and not able to take the family responsibilities, Sri Chinna Konda Reddy took the family responsibilities. His younger brother also followed Christianity and was diligent in spreading the Gospel. Sri Reddy had to stop his studies to take care of the family responsibilities. The fourth brother Sri. Raja Reddy finished his studies up to Intermediate and worked in the military for sometime. The fifth brother, Purushotham Reddy, is working as a doctor in Raja Reddy hospital, Pulivendula. He had five sisters Sugunamma, Ratnamma, Rajamma , Mariamma and Kamalamma . He brought up his three brothers and five sisters like a good brother and a father. He provided good education for them and guided them to settle in good professions. He fulfilled all his responsibilities. He had a soft heart smooth as fresh butter. He was a matchless personality. He had the support of God always. He was confident in all things and followed God throught his life. In the same way his wife Smt.Rajamma is also an appropriate life partner, following 86 the foot steps of her husband and nurturing the children and providing motherly love to sisters-in-law and daughters-in-law and proved to be a fine cultured housewife. Sri Reddy had 13 children, out of them a son and a daughter passed away at an early age. The remaining six sons and five daughters got good education and they are settled in good jobs and in high position in the society. They all are in good culture and disciplined in the lines of Chinna Konda Reddy. In 1977 he had to face a difficult situation in his railway contract. The officers warned him that he was heading towards a great loss. Reddy garu responded saying that – no question of compromise no reduction in the quality, even if it is a loss I must accomplish my task. He made a marvelous statement in that context- people understood the greatness of Jesus Christ only after His Crucifiction, nobody realized Him during His life time. All those who suffered Him had to regret at the end.” Sri Reddy was a perfect man. He was always thankful to the people who helped him. I came to know Sri Reddy in 1960, when he bought a tractor from me. From then, our relationship continued. His straight forwardness and honesty attracted me towards him. I respected him more than my father because of his professional discipline, intellectuality, and commitment to work. I always feel the preciousness of my relationship with him. I am so proud to have this privilege to express these few words about such a great man Konda Reddy.
