Andhra Pradesh and Telangana Governor E S L Narasimhan Sunday expressed his shock and sorrow at the killing of a sitting MLA and a former legislator by Maoists in Visakhapatnam district.
In a condolence message, the Governor conveyed his condolences to the families of Araku MLA Kidari Sarveswara Rao and former MLA Siveri Soma, who were shot dead by CPI (Maoists) in Lippitiputta village under Dambriguda mandal in Andhra Pradesh Sunday.
He instructed officials to take necessary precautions for the safety of the people.
