Heart attacks are becoming too common among our politicians. They should focus more on health along with politics. 63 is too young to go. My condolences to his family.

Regardless of party lines, we must acknowledge his service to Hyderabad. Three terms as MLA shows people trusted him. Hope the next representative maintains his legacy of public accessibility.

While I didn't always agree with his politics, no one can deny his dedication to Jubilee Hills. The area developed significantly under his leadership. A lesson for new politicians on how to serve constituents.

So many politicians tweet condolences but forget the work after 2 days. Hope someone actually continues Gopinath garu's unfinished projects. That would be the real tribute!
