Com Lakshmi Narayana was a leader of the SFI in Warangal district, Andhra Pradesh. He was martyred on the 19th April 1979. He won the President post in the college union elections of the prestigious Arts and Science College in Warangal. Exposing the deviations of the fundamentalist forces and extremist forces, Com Lakshmi Narayana, under the leadership of SFI, led the students on the right path of Study and Struggle. He opposed eve-teasing and stood for the rights of the girl students. His humble nature and simplicity endeared him to the students. Unable to digest this, ABVP and RSP targeted him.
In 1978, a tussle began when the welcome banners of SFI were torn by the ABVP. RSU supported the ABVP. SFI continued with the admission work and waged consistent struggles on the issues faced by the students. A big movement was organised for scholarships. ABVP and RSU which got isolated started issuing threats to the SFI leaders and warned Com Lakshmi Narayana that they would kill him. He did not surrender, and continued on the path of struggle.
On 19th April 1979, when cultural programmes were going on in the college, Com Lakshmi Narayana was attacked with swords and knives. He fought valiantly till his last but the naxalites who had come to kill him overpowered him and brutally murdered him.
