Lasiya Nandita, the youngest lawmaker in the Telangana Legislative Assembly died on Friday in a tragic accident in Hyderabad. The 37-year-old from Secunderabad Cantonment met with the accident while traveling in an SUV on the Patancheru Outer Ring Road.

The driver lost control while driving and crashed into a side rail. As per India Today, the legislator was rushed to the hospital but the doctors pronounced her to be brought dead. Meanwhile, the car driver who has also sustained serious injuries was shifted to the nearby private hospital in Patancheru and his condition continues to be critical, reports Hindustan Times.

Expressing condolences to Lasiya, Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy wrote on X, “I had a close relationship with Nandita”s father Swargiya Sayanna. He passed away in the same month last year… It is very sad that Nandita also died suddenly in the same month”.

Nanditha is the daughter of former BRS legislator late G Sayanna and she was elected from the Secunderabad Cantonment assembly constituency last November.

G Sayanna was a five-time MLA from the constituency. He died of illness on February 19 last year. Sayanna is a popular Dalit leader. Lasiya had been an active member of the party and also served as a corporator in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Cooperation from the Kavadiguda division.

Meanwhile, the police are yet to give a clarity on the incident. It is suspected that the car was traveling at high speed and lost control in the process, reports The News Minute.

Recently, Lasya has met with another car accident. After escaping the accident with narrow injuries she shared on X, “Was involved in an accident on the way back from Nalgonda. I’m okay, and there’s nothing to worry about. Grateful for everyone’s concern and support”.
