rowdy..? or leader..?

olden days and people are gold. scared for future generations after looking at the ongoing things in politics. unfortunately they wont have much time to think about people and development and will spend most of their time on revenge politics.

One surprising thing I heard at the time of Ranga riots is that that the two theaters owned by YSR in Vijayawada (Raj-Yuvaraj theaters) were not damaged (left untouched) by the rioters though many other theaters across the city were totally damaged.. 

I heard Ranga and Razanna co-owned those theatres. They shared many business deals.

Ranga was one of the many rowdies who fought for supremacy in Vijayawada.. Kammas and Kapus used to be together and do businesses… Ranga was friends with devineni family and other kamma families.. he even married a kamma girl without any objection from anyone.. 

tarvata politics lo ki enter ayyaka, they started the case based politics to increase their influence.. kapus owned ranga and kammas owned the devineni family.. vijayawada surroundings lo prathi oorlo devineni Murali and ranga vi chala statues untaayi.. not sure if they are still there.. 

nenu Engg lo unnapudu, ma room owner (very old person - not kamma or kapu) used to tell lot of scary stories about Vijayawada gang wars of 70’s and 80’s.. 

someone should research this and make a web series about it.. 

Ever since Brothergoru came to power, Bejawada starting seeing all these caste fractures. Eventually spread throughout the state.

More interesting stories after Ranga death like Ramana-Nehru rivalry.

These stories appear true from either point of views. Both seems correct when you listen to the story narrated by them and their Point of view.

All faction stories same.

Ranga is like Paritala. Two rowdies that got associated as caste symbols. They were used by pedda nayakulu and would be killed because of their past.

Take for example suri. Originally he wanted to stay away from factionism but had to enter it when his family members were killed. Enter ayyaka cheyyani boku pani ledhu. 
 

faction leaders ni champadaniki okka veyyi mandi ready ga untaru. Valla kosam chavadaniki kooda anthey. But good thing is factionism reduced a lot in ap 

How this Suri fellow able to survive Paritala wrath while in jail? He was able to plot killings from own cell.

in india they are pretty much same.... there is no significant leader who isn't a rowdy. It's just sofisticated mafia.

Ranga wife, Chennupati Ratnakumari, was a Kamma.

Ranga’s brother, Radhakrishna Murthy, known as Radha, came to Vijayawada from West Godavari in the 1960s to make a living.
Radha became an aide of Chalasani Venkataratnam, a city CPI leader, who ran local transport unions.
Radha worked as a taxi driver, while Ranga was a cycle mechanic. ”
“There was money to be made in controlling the unions.
“Venkataratnam was later eliminated in 1972, and Radha became dominant in the underbelly of the city.”
“At this point of time, Devineni Chandrasekhar, alias Gandhi, was working with Radha and his gang. Gandhi came out of the shadow of Venkataratnam along with Radha.”
“Radha and Gandhi began organizing auto drivers, rickshaw pullers and daily wage earners.”
“They also started a students’ organization called United Independents and used them for their nefarious, mostly ‘collection’, activities.”
“Later, Gandhi, along with brothers Devineni Nehru and Murali, separated from Radha and floated another outfit, United Students Organization”
“Not long after, in 1974, Radha had to pay for Venkataratnam’s murder.” “He was hacked to death in an auto shed, allegedly by communist supporters.”
“That was when his brother Ranga took over the family ‘business”
“In 1979, Devineni Gandhi was stabbed to death, allegedly by Ranga’s henchmen, in an ambush while escaping into the compound of Andhra Loyola College.”
“Gandhi’s brother, Devineni Nehru, now took over the reins.”
“Nehru’s fortunes took a dramatic turn when he got a ticket from the newly established TDP to contest from Kankipadu on the outskirts of Vijayawada in 1983. Nehru became an MLA.”
“n the meantime, Ranga made an effort to make his political debut. He succeeded in 1981 when he won as a municipal councillor from Krishna Lanka, an urban slum.
In 1985, he contested assembly elections on a Congress ticket and was one of the few candidates who overcame the NTR onslaught. ”
“Ranga emerged as a Robin Hood by standing up to the cops.”
“He also had the backing of Shiv Shankar and Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy. ”
“In the other camp, though Nehru was the MLA, it was his younger brother Murali who emerged as the belligerent one.
The Ranga group saw him as a threat. Devineni Murali and his friends were ambushed in March 1988 at Edlapadu in Guntur District when they were returning from Nellore in a van. ”
“He, along with four of his companions, was brutally killed after a dramatic chase”
“A massive rally of Kapus was organized in Guntur in support of Ranga while he was in jail.”
“Eight months after Murali’s murder, in the early hours of 26 December 1988, Ranga, at the age of forty-two, was bludgeoned to death.
He was at the time sitting on a dharna near Raghavaiah Park at Nirmala Hrudaya Bhavan, opposite his residence, protesting, among other things, against police high-handedness.
The attack on the hunger strike camp was carried out by two busloads of assailants draped in black attire, traditionally worn by Lord Ayyappa devotees for the Sabarimala pilgrimage.
They threw smoke bombs and in the ensuing melee attacked Ranga with knives, axes and spears and killed him along with two others at about 3.20 a.m.”
