Sirivennela Sitarama Sastry is known to be a mild man. However he sprang surprise by refusing to compose a theme song for Visakha festival, thus shocking the Andhra Pradesh government. It is known that Andhra Pradesh government headed by Chandra Babu Naidu is planning to launch Visahka festival in a prestigious manner.
Organisers contacted Sirivennela Sitarama Sastry and requested him to pen the theme song. However he kindly refused to write the song. Now the organisers are contacting local lyricists to write the song. AP Govt is planning to conduct Visakha festival starting from Friday.
Ganta Srinivasa Rao, Bheemili MLA and HRD Minister announced sometime back that Visakha festival will be conducted every year and they would get a top lyricist to pen the theme song. Visakha festival will be conducted for three days starting from Jan 23 till Jan 25.
