The Telangana Legislative Assembly session, typically characterized by intense debates and confrontations, took a notably respectful turn today as the house gathered to mourn the passing of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. In a rare and unusual show of unity, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and K.T. Rama Rao (KTR), the working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), found common ground in paying tribute to the late leader.
During the session, Revanth Reddy, who initiated the proposal, suggested that Manmohan Singh be honored with the prestigious Bharat Ratna award. In a gesture of respect and solidarity, KTR, representing BRS, publicly endorsed the proposal, acknowledging Singh’s significant contributions to the nation. “As the honourable chief minister said, late Manmohan Singh is a proud exponent of the country. BRS unconditionally supports the proposal of Bharat Ratna for Manmohan Singh,” KTR stated, aligning with the CM’s motion.
In addition to the Bharat Ratna proposal, Revanth Reddy further proposed the installation of a statue of the former Prime Minister in Hyderabad’s Financial District. This proposal was met with broad approval in the assembly, reflecting the consensus across party lines.
It is a rare occurrence for political leaders with contrasting affiliations, such as Revanth Reddy and KTR, to stand together in such a matter. Their unified stance today underscored the respect and compassion that transcended political differences, highlighting the significance of honoring Manmohan Singh’s legacy. This moment of harmony in the Telangana assembly serves as a testament to the power of mutual respect and collective remembrance, even in a fiercely competitive political landscape.
