PV Narasimha Rao

in its ranks.

V Hanumantha Rao, honorary chairman of TPCC’s PV Narasimha Rao Centenary Celebrations committee, said: “Right from a party activist to the chief minister’s post in undivided Andhra Pradesh and from AICC president to the Prime Minister’s post, the party has honoured Rao with top positions in the party as well as in the government. His son was given MP ticket.”

He called upon party leaders and activists to inform the people that Congress holds Narasimha Rao in highest regard and has always honoured him with top positions. “Tell the people that BJP and TRS are carrying out a malicious campaign against Congress,” he said at a review meeting of the Narasimha Rao centenary celebrations committee here on Sunday.
