On the 102nd birth anniversary of former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao on Wednesday, many leaders recounted his services for the country.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tributes to PV Narasimha Rao, praising the former PM’s visionary leadership and dedication to India’s progress. “Remembering Shri PV Narasimha Raoji on his birth anniversary.
His far-sighted leadership and commitment to India’s development was noteworthy. We honour his invaluable contributions to our nation’s progress,” PM Narendra Modi said in a tweet.
Chief Minister K Chandrashekara Rao said that former Prime Minister and a son of Telangana soil P V Narasimha Rao had rescued the country from critical conditions.
“We have a responsibility to honour the former Prime Minister and recollect his services rendered for the country. As part of its endeavour, the State government is officially conducting PV Narasimha Rao’s birth anniversary celebrations. ‘Telangana Theevi, Mana PV’, CM KCR remarked. Taking PV’s ideals as an inspiration, all should go ahead for the development of the country.
KTR said: “Sri PV Narasimha Rao Garu was THE most effective and efficient Prime Minister since Independence of India. It’s a matter of great pride to remember him and recognise his tremendous contributions to the country on his birth anniversary.
A man who truly deserves Bharat Ratna. He was also the most underrated and undermined PM; both by Indian media and his own political party that insulted him in life and even after he passed away. Sad but a hard truth”
“On his birth anniversary, we remember the former PM of India, P.V. Narasimha Rao, who introduced some noteworthy liberal reforms to the Indian economy. Today, we pay a humble tribute to Mr Rao, a distinguished statesman who reinvented India, both at home & abroad,” the Congress tweeted.
