Anasuya doesn’t mind crossing rivulets, jungles, or rocky terrains while walking miles to feed her people who live at some places or remote villages where vehicles can’t go.
Fondly called ‘Seethakka’, the Congress MLA has started a #GoHungerGo campaign, winning the internet with her videos and photos where she is seen distributing food grains, vegetables, oil and other essential commodities to people.

The MLA has been praised by Twitterati as well as other social media users for her undaunted spirit. One such tweet read: “Doesn’t the video look like that of a migrant worker waking to her village? But it isn’t! This is an MLA carrying essentials in the hot sun and rocky path to far-flung tribal villages. Seethakka has been doing this for about 39days now. Spellbound by her dedication.”
