Chandra Shekhar Azad’s birth anniversary celebrated at Bapatla

​Bapatla: Forum for Better Bapatla secretary PC Sai Babu said that Chandra Shekhar Azad was the quintessential firebrand revolutionary who fiercely craved independence for India and was a contemporary of Bhagat Singh. He said Azad never received the same levels of adoration for his deeds, yet his actions were no less heroic. 

Azad's 112th birth anniversary was celebrated on Monday, under the aegis of Forum for Better Bapatla. His statue near mandal office was garlanded and rich tributes were paid to the great leader.

Speaking on this occasion, Sai Babu said that the latter’s lifelong goal was to create as much problem for the British Government as he could and was the master of disguises and evaded capture by the British police multiple times. He said Azad was famous for proclamations. 

“I will face the bullets of the enemies and have been free and I’ll forever be free” is exemplary of his brand of revolution. He embraced martyrdom like an old friend and inspired a fierce sense of nationalism in the hearts of his contemporaries. BC leader P Srinivas Goud, teachers Krishnaveni, Samjoutha, Gourisankar and others participated.
