However, conflicts arose between Venkata Rathnam and Vangaveeti Radha, to get a hold on Vijayawada transport business, dominated by Datti Kanaka Rao, a follower of Chalasani Venkata Rathnam. [3] In 1972, both Kanaka Rao, and Venkata Rathnam were allegedly murdered by Vangaveeti Radha's supporters. These events in turn led to a retaliation by a rival group, ending in the murder of Vangaveeti Radha.[4][5] Upon the death of Vangaveeti Radha, his brother Mohana Ranga took over the leadership of United independent Organization with the support of student union leaders Devineni Chandrasekhar (Gandhi), and Devineni Rajasekhar (Nehru).[6]

The power struggle between politically powerful Mohana Ranga and the Devineni Family led to the splitting of the United Independent Organization and to the alleged protracted murders of brothers Devineni Chandrasekhar (Gandhi) in 1979 and Devineni Murali in 1988, by Mohana Ranga.[1][6]Subsequently, while Ranga was staging an indefinite fast for distribution of land pattas, to residents of Giripuram, when he was attacked a group of men allegedly led byDevineni Rajasekhar (Nehru), attacked Mohana Ranga's camp and assassinated him in the early hours of 25 December 1988 by bombs and murdered in broad daylight. . Ranga's two assigned bodyguards did not intervene.[7][8] The murder led to large scale riots in Krishna, Guntur and the Godavari districts.
