Reddy pitches for Bharat Ratna for PV

Veteran Congress leader and Opposition leader in the Telangana Assembly K Jana Reddy has requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to honour former PM, the late PV Narasimha Rao, with Bharat Ratna posthumously.

In a letter to Modi, Jana Reddy said that PV was a well known economist, political reformer, multi-linguist, a great writer and was popularly known as ‘chanakya’. His contributions to the nation during his sixdecade political career were outstanding.

“PV served as minister in the state and central cabinets. He also served as chief minister of united AP. His contributions as the PM between 1991-1996, which is considered as one of the most turbulent periods, are immense. The GDP growth was significant,” he said.

Jana further said, “For all the great achievements of PV, as a Telugu person and on behalf of the people of Telangana, I request you to honour him with Bharat Ratna posthumously.”
