Mayor of Yanam, 1925 to 1930.

Bezawada Bapanaya Naidou Jr was a grandson of Bezawada Bapanaya Sr., the first Mayor of Yanam, and was himself the mayor from 1925 to 1930. He was one of the two powerful political leaders in Yanam during French rule. It was told that he was very soft-natured person and a vaishnavite. He was a humble and powerful politician in his time. Bouloussou Soubramaniam Sastroulou who had been Diwan for Manyam Zamindar, was one of his counsillors. His opponent was Kamichetty Venugopala Rao Naidou.[1][2]

Death

Unfortunately, he was murdered in Pondicherry. It was a mystery about his murder. There was a rumour that he knew the real culprits behind the murder of then politician Selvaraj Chettiar. Actually, it was told that he had an insurance policy for him. So, his family members gave a statement that he had died a natural death in order to get that money.[citation needed]

After his death, his faction became weak, and even his siblings were also not able to continue in Yanam politics as he did. There was a street named Bezawada in Yanam. Even today, there is a portrait of Bezawada in the municipal hall at Yanam.
