Telangana CM and Deputy CM pay tribute to Rajiv Gandhi on his 80th birth anniversary, statue unveiling opposite to Telangana Secretariat postponed.
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy along with Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka paid tributes to late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi on the occasion of his 80th birth anniversary, at a programme held at Somajiguda Circle in Hyderabad on Tuesday (August 20,2024).
While the State government planned a grand unveiling of Rajiv Gandhi’s statue opposite to the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Telangana State Secretariat, the programme was postponed. The CM four days ago invited All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Mallikarjun Kharge to the unveiling.
Opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and intellectuals from the State opposed the Congress party’s move to install the statue opposite to the secretariat. BRS contended that the space was earmarked for Telangana Talli’s statue.
