Supporters and activists of YS Jaganmohan Reddy laughed at the statements made by Social Welfare Minister over the suicide of Varalakshmi. Varalaskshmi allegedly committed suicide as her father was unable to pay the tution fee to the college. Reportedly as she could not take the college managements harrasment over a period of time, she self-immolated her-self and succumbed to serious burns leading to her death.

Reacting to the same, the Minister called the death of Varalakshmi a 'unfortunate incident'. Botsa Satyanaryana demanded a SC, ST atrocity case against Pithani and demanded a ex-gratia for the girls family. While on the other hand Jupudi Krishnarao said that while the late YSR gave more importance to education, this government lacked sincerity to develop the same.
