Telangana state’s recommended names for Padma awards apparently were ignored by the centre. The KCR led TRS government recommended 56 names for the awards but only one of them found the place to get Padma Shri, artist K Laxma Goud.
However, the names which were not recommended by the TS government were honored as their names went from other states. The Telugu states got 12 Padma awardees, with 6 each in AP, TS.
Baahubali fame director SS Rajamouli got Padma Shri from Karnataka. Media magnate Ch Ramoji Rao was honored with Padma Vibhushan from AP. While Telangana had no one selected for Padma Vibhushan.
Dr Venkata Rama Rao Alla and Dr Y. Lakshmi Prasad from AP were awarded with Padma Bhushan, while sports star Sania Mirza, Saina Nehwal and Dr D. Nageshwar Reddy of the Asian Gastroenteorology Institute from TS were also awarded with Padma Bhushan.
The TS government sent two lists to the Centre in September with the names for Padma awards. The first list contained 32 new names and the second list comprising 24 names were the ones already sent in 2014. Of the 56, only Laxma Goud, whose name was even recommended in 2014, got Padma Shri award.
