KCR bats for Bharat Ratna to ex-PM P V Narasimha Rao
Governor E S L Narasimhan, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, Leader of Opposition K Jana Reddy, a host of ministers, MPs, MLAs, Jnanpeeth awardee C Narayana Reddy and leaders of various parties offered floral tributes to the "son of the soil" at PV Gnana Bhoomi here on Saturday.
Speaking on the occasion, the Governor described the late Prime Minister as a "perfect human being" and a man with great ideals. "A leader like P V Narasimha Rao is very rare on the Indian political map. He was a modern Chanakya, a multi-faceted personality and a man with his feet firmly on the ground. He was the father of economic reforms in the country," the Governor said.
From being a freedom fighter, who took an active part in the Quit India Movement, P V Narasimha Rao rose to occupy every post in Indian polity.

"He was a man who rose from a small position to the highest position in the country. We have to always remember that," the Governor said. Recalling his association with the former PM, the Governor pointed out that PV was a man who took bureaucratic decisions. "My indecision is a conscious decision," Narasimhan quoted PV as telling him once when, as the then top Intelligence Bureau official, he went to get a filed cleared.
"PV ji had a great sense of humour. He will finish you off with that. He was man of great ideals. He is not a man or name to be forgotten," Narasimhan added. Stating that the former PM was a 'lover of Ayurveda', the Governor asked the Telangana government to develop a herbal garden at the PV Gnana Bhoomi.
The Chief Minister said his Cabinet would soon pass a resolution requesting the Centre to confer Bharat Ratna on the late legend.
The CM announced on the occasion that a memorial building that would house the memorabilia of the late Prime Minister would be constructed in Hyderabad. "It will showcase PV's life, his literature, speeches and other things," he added.
