Bodepudi Venkateswara Rao (bodepudi venkateswara ˈraʊ; 2 April 1922 – 5 August 1997), was an Indian political leader. A member of the legislative assembly continuously for three terms serving the “Communist Party of India (Marxist)” [CPI(M)],[1] Venkateswara Rao was previously a social reformer from the state of Telangana (erstwhile part of Andhra Pradesh).[1] He gained a lot of prominence in the state and the country for his persistent efforts to improve the lives of the downtrodden.[2] He won the hearts of millions of peasants and farmers from Khammam District, Telangana, India.[3]
He became a member of the CPI(M) at the age of 13 and served the party loyally until his demise. His Telugu literary skills were commendable with an excellent command of the language.[4] He came from a poor family and dedicated his life to improving the lives of farmers and rural areas. He played a major role in the Telangana Raithanga Samyudha Poratam (peasant rebellion) which led to the distribution of one million acres of agricultural land to poor farmers.[1] He popularized the Ryotwari system (Kavula dhari chattam), and abolishment of bonded labor.[2] He worked relentlessly in solving agricultural issues, bringing safe drinking water to hinterlands and enabling villages to be self-reliant.[2][1][5]
He was a great orator and worked harmoniously with all the political parties for the welfare of the people of his constituency. He was greatly respected by leaders of all political parties.[2]
