Bodepudi Venkateswara Rao (bodepudi venkateswara ˈraʊ) born April 2, 1922, was an Indian political leader. A member of the legislative assembly continuously for three terms serving the “Communist Party of India (Marxist)”, Venkateswara Rao was previously a social reformer from the state of Telangana (erstwhile part of Andhra Pradesh). He gained a lot of prominence in the state and the country for his persistent efforts to improve the lives of the downtrodden. He won the hearts of millions of peasants and farmers from Khammam District, Telangana, India.
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. 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. He popularized the Ryotwari system (Kavula dhari chattam), and abolishment of bonded labor. He worked relentlessly in solving agricultural issues, bringing safe drinking water to hinterlands and enabling villages to be self-reliant.
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.
