Musheerabad: The 96th jayanti of former Chief Minister N T Rama Rao (NTR) was celebrated by the Telugu Desam Party in its Hyderabad district office. The TDP leaders attended the flag-hoisting and cake-cutting ceremonies. They paid floral tributes to NTR's portrait.
A TDP leader Saibaba, who cut the cake, expressed displeasure over the HMDA and GHMC for failing to give due respect to the former Chief Minister at NTR Ghat. He told the gathering that NTR had brought political awakening among the weaker sections, gave property share to women and provided Rs 2 a kg rice to the poor. 'NTR took these welfare measures for the benefit of Telugu people and not Andhras.
He also freed Telangana people from the clutches of Zamindars', Saibaba stated. Without naming Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for speaking like a 'dora' (high caste leader) and ushering in 'dora pettanam', he warned that people would teach him a lesson. Saibaba also complained about non-observance of protocol by the State administration in the case of former CM.
He regretted that the State had 'forgotten a person who strove for the betterment of Telugu people and language. This amounted to insulting people of the Telugu States'.Among those present at the function were Kishore Kumar, R P Balraj Goud, Aruna, Muddipi Madhukar, Ravinder, Praveen, Ramulu, Babu.
