Hyderabad/New Delhi: The State government on Wednesday celebrated 96th birth anniversary of former Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao across the State in a grand manner. The Ministers, who offered floral tributes to the former Prime Minister at PV Gyan Bhumi on Necklace Road in the city, demanded that the Centre confer him with ‘Bharat Ratna’ award. They also said PV, as the former Prime Minister was fondly called, was a great statesman, linguist and son of Telangana soil.
Home Minister Naini Narsihma Reddy, Animal Husbandry Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav, former Governor Konijeti Rosaiah, Advisor to Government K V Ramana Chary, several Congress leaders including Tulsi Reddy and family members of the former Prime Minister were present at the ceremony.
Narsimha Reddy recalled that PV Narsimha Rao was acclaimed for implementing financial reforms across the nation and fetched name to the Telangana region. His services got accolades world over and the present-day leaders should emulate his ideals, he said, adding that PV’s name would remain etched in the history.
The Centre should confer him with ‘Bharat Ratna’ award posthumously, he demanded. The Centre had always been insulting the Telangana region and should take steps to set up Narasimha Rao’s memorial beside Gandhi Sthal in Delhi, he said.
Srinivas Yadav said Narasimha Rao was the first Prime Minister, who introduced financial reforms silently and got name and fame for the country and Telangana.
PV, he said, served the nation in many posts and deserved ‘Bharat Ratna’ award. In recognition to his services,
Former Governor Rosaiah said PV maintained friendly relations with other nations and spread the country’s name all over the world. State BJP leader K Lakshman said PV was the great leader to introduce liberalisation policy. The BJP would request the Centre to confer him Bharat Ratna Award, he added.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Kadiyam Srihari and others paid floral tributes to P V Narasimha Rao to mark his 96th birth anniversary at Telangana Bhavan in New Delhi.
Besides Telagnana leaders of various parties, Andhra Pradesh IT Minister Nara Lokesh also participated in the PV birth anniversary and paid tributes to him on the occasion. Along with MLC Palla Rajeshwar Reddy, MPs Vinod Kumar, Congress leader K Jana Reddy and Telangana State Special Representative in Delhi S Veugopala Chary and others offered floral tributes to PV and recalled his services.
Speaking on the occasion, the Deputy Chief Minister lauded Rao for his services that ushered in a new era of financial reforms giving big boost to liberalisation policies. PV, son of the soil, rose to become the first Prime Minister to introduce financial reforms across the nation, he said. As a statesman, linguist and a visionary, PV served the nation in various capacities, he recalled.
IT & Industries Minister K T Rama Rao, in a twitter, offered rich tributes to PV Narsimha Rao. “Indeed, Rao was a great leader of the soil, who implemented financial reforms,” he tweeted.
