"Slight Delay But It's Okay": PV Narasimha Rao's Daughter On His Bharat Ratna

Narasimha Rao, who became prime minister when the country was facing tough times, implemented reforms that were recognised by the whole world, Vani Devi said.

Former Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao's daughter and BRS MLC Vani Devi on Thursday appreciated the gesture of naming her father for the Bharat Ratna, the nation's highest civilian award, and praised PM Narendra Modi for the decision. Narasimha Rao belongs to the whole nation, she said.

She said she was getting calls from Maharashtra and Odisha as he was elected as a Member of Parliament from those states. She was also getting calls from Delhi.

"Everyone is happy. He is not only a son of Telugu soil but he belongs to the whole nation," she said.
