On the eve of 21st death anniversary of legendary NTR, the grand old demand of Bharat Ratna to him cropped up once again. Fans of late NTR and several TDP leaders reiterated the old demand that late NTR should be conferred with the highest civilian award for his outstanding contribution to society.
At a time when neighbouring people in Tamil Nadu are way ahead and strongly vouching for Bharat Ratna to late Jayalalithaa, Telugus are trailing behind.
Except twice a year – birth (May 28) and death (Jan 18) anniversaries of NTR – none of the days, no one voices the demand for Bharat Ratna to the former CM of united AP.
Even these two days, besides raising pitch, none of them actually took this to the logical conclusion. Over the years, the demand for Bharat Ratna to NTR has lost its significance. Even no one has genuinely fought for it and haven’t actively lobbied for the Bharat Ratna for TDP founder.
Since TDP is the part of NDA at centre that is in ruling, it’d be easy if Chandrababu steps up his pressure on Modi. But actually it’s not happening leaving Telugus, especially fans of NTR, disappointed.
