The Chief Ministers of the new states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Chandrababu Naidu, KCR, have failed in one aspect- in convincing Centre over honouring their legends of their own states with Bharat Ratna. Although Chandrababu Naidu is part of NDA and playing vital role in it, he failed in getting Bharat Ratna for veteran actor-TDP founder NTR.
The case is no different for T-CM KCR as well as he couldn’t manage to convince PM Narendra Modi for conferring the India’s civilian award to former PM PV Narasimha Rao who hails from Telangana. With Centre announcing the prestigious award for AB Vajpayee and BHU founder Madan Mohan Malavya (posthumously), it has poured cold water on the hopes of TDP supremo Chandrababu who was confident of getting Bharat Ratna for NTR.
At the same time, it also disappointed KCR by evading PV’s name. It is reliably learnt that although Modi is in favour of conferring Bharat Ratna for NTR, he was apparently afraid that it’d caught him off guard if declares NTR name but not PV’s name as it’d get severe backlash from the Telangana state. With this Modi seems to have played it safe by avoiding both the names.
Even though PV was a congress man, his reforms have transformed India and one of the pioneers of modern India by liberalising the banks. All in all, both the CMs of AP and Telangana have failed in this one aspect inarguably.
