TDP National president N. Chandrababu Naidu said that NTR proved that a common man can reach great heights
The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) rank and file paid rich tributes to party’s founder president N.T. Rama Rao on the occasion of his 26th death anniversary on Tuesday. TDP Andhra Pradesh State president K. Atchannaidu garlanded the statue of NTR at the party office at Mangalagiri near Vijayawada on Tuesday.
In a statement, TDP National president N. Chandrababu Naidu said that NTR proved that a common man can reach great heights and achieve success. Born in a farmer’s family, NTR brought laurels to the Telugus. He was the uncrowned king in the film industry, and matchless political leader. His journey with a slogan- pride of Telugus was unforgettable. NTR came to power within 9 months of founding the party. NTR has shown the power was not for enjoyment but to serve the people. The power which was limited to only a few sections of the society was brought to the reach of downtrodden. NTR laid foundations for the welfare schemes, he recalled.
