Just 10 days ago, Lasya Nandita had narrowly escaped an accident in Narkatpally.
Hyderabad:
Telangana MLA Lasya Nandita died today when the SUV she was traveling in collided with a road divider in Hyderabad. However, this was the second major accident of a Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader this month.
Just 10 days ago, the 37-year-old MLA had a narrow escape in an accident in Narkatpally. She was on her way to a rally being addressed by Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy when a drunk driver hit her vehicle. His home guard died in the accident, while he suffered minor injuries.
Today’s fatal accident occurred when the driver of his car, a Maruti XL6, lost control and hit a metal divider on the Outer Ring Road in Hyderabad. Lasya Nandita died on the spot, while her driver is in critical condition and is being treated at a private hospital.
The incident took place today at 5.30 am.
Police are currently investigating both accidents.
The 37-year-old, a first-time MLA from Secunderabad Cantonment (SC), was taken to the hospital, where doctors declared her brought dead.
Born in Hyderabad in 1986, Lasya Nandita entered politics about a decade ago. He served as a councilor in Kavadiguda ward before being elected MLA from Secunderabad Cantonment in the 2023 Telangana Assembly elections.
Telangana Chief Minister, BRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao, state BJP president G Kishan Reddy and several Telangana ministers and leaders condoled the death of the young MLA.
Expressing grief over the tragic death of Lasya Nandita, Revanth Reddy recalled his close relationship with her late father G Sayana. He said, “It is sad that Sayanna died in February last year and Lasya Nandita also died suddenly in the same month (in the span of a year).”
