M N Roy addressed south Indian agricultural labor conference. Afterwords Roy fell ill . A word was sent to Mr M V Sastry at Kakinada. He came and took Roy to Kakinada a coastal town in Andhra. Ellen also joined Roy. Then M N Roy and Ellen proceeded to Visakhapatnam where he was welcomed by few people like P H Gupta, Abburi Varadarajeswararao, Attaluri Narasimharao and others. M N Roy was hosted by Mr P H Gupta who was in insurance business. Roy couple stayed in Maharanipet at Gupta`s house where they recouped from sickness. Mr Abburi Ramakrishnara, librarian in Andhra University introduced M N Roy to the Vice chancellor of Andhra University Mr Kattamanchi Ramalingareddi ( C R Reddi) who invited Roy and even offered professorship in the university.Later mr C R Reddi wrote brilliant introduction to Roy`s Letters from Jail. Rachakonda Viswanatha sastry and few others met M N Roy and invited him to their college to address the meeting. The principal of the college reacted at this news and commented : what is the content of Roy`s speech? Is he going to teach how to make bombs? Rachakonda reported the matter to Roy and naturally Roy commented on principal`s attitue in the public meeting held at beach shore. Students started reading Roy`s Independent India and other writings . During 1940s M N Roy along with other radicals founded Radical democratic party. Mr Abburi Ramakrishna rao was made the first organiser of the state for the party in Andhra. Several stalwarts joined the Radical democratic party and some of them are: Tata Devakinandan from Vijayanagaram, Mr Pemmaraju Venkatarao from Nellimarla who organized labor in jute mills. Mr Palagummi Padmaraju writer contributed stories and books about Radical movement. Mr Tripuraneni Gopichand was made the state party secretary. Mr Narahari Guttikonda was in charge of labor front. Dr Pavuluri Krishna Choudary from Ponnur was incharge of student wing who conducted hand written magazine M N Roy was taken to Tanuku in West Godavari where Mr K P S Raju conducted huge procession with bullock carts. M N Roy toured Tenali, Vijayawada, Guntur, and few sorrounding villages. Several teachers, poets, writers were inspiried by the thoughts and writings of M N Roy. Tenali has become hub of Radical democratic party. Mr Avula Gopalakrishna Murthy, Mr G V Krishna rao, Mr Koganti Radhakrishna Murthy, Mr Sivalingaiah, Mr Jampala Syam sundar rao, Mr Kosaraju Sambasivarao were actively involved.
