Speaking to the media, Mr. Naidu termed Mohan’s demise as a big loss to the party. Recalling his services to the party since the founding of the party in 1982, Mr. Naidu said Mohan had played a crucial role in the victory of the party. The Naidu couple consoled the family members of Mohan.

Mohan was a former Andhra Ranji cricketer who later joined the TDP and rose to become the chairman of the SAAP, besides serving as chairman of Sree Kalahasteeswara Swami Devasthanam Trust board.
