It seems the union government is moving positively towards the long pending demand to accord India’s highest civilian award Bharata Ratna to Telugu Matinee Idol and TDP founder NT Rama Rao.
Union minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju said the letter forwarded by Srikakulam MP K Ramamohan Naidu to the centre requesting to announce the award to NTR has been taken into consideration.
He said the Prime Minister’s Office is examining the issue and Prime minister Narendra Modi will take a decision soon. After finalising the decision, PM will forward the same to President for his final nod.
