Along with party leaders Sevvana Umamaheswari, G. Bhagya Lakshmi and others, he filed a charge-sheet in Srikakulam police stations over the issues of Srikakulam Assembly segment. Speaking to the media on the occasion, Mr. Venugopalam alleged that Vamsadhara lift irrigation project was not taken up although it was proposed long ago with ₹275 crore.
He alleged that the State government could not take up Srikakulam-Amadalavalasa road in spite of having ₹40 crore Central fund. He has also expressed dissatisfaction over the non-completion of new Kodi Ramamurthy stadium which was demolished eight years ago. BJP Srikakulam district president Birlangi Umamaheswara Rao, who participated in the agitation at Narasannapeta, said that all leaders had filed charge sheets in the respective constituencies.
