Hyderabad: Labour Minister G Vivek Venkataswamy, BC Welfare Minister Ponnam Prabhakar and Minorities Welfare Minister Mohammed Azharuddin paid tributes to senior Congress leader G Venkataswamy on his birthday here on Monday.

Speaking on the occasion, Prabhakar said, “Millions of people are born in this world. But only a few leave an indelible mark on history with their lives. Venkat Swamy is one of such great people.”

Venkat Swamy is a great leader who is committed to ethics and justice, always responding to the problems of the poor, the downtrodden and the weak, and dedicated his life for them.

“I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him politically. When I entered politics, he guided me on many occasions. I will always remember the advice he gave on how to be a politician, how to understand the problems of the people, and how to stand by the poor,” he recalled.

According to him, Venkat Swamy was a great-hearted person who responded to any small danger that befell anyone, considering it as his own danger. His way of thinking and sense of service not only in politics but also in social life is an ideal for today's generation.

The achievement of Telangana was an important aspiration in his life. I got the opportunity to work with him on many occasions during the Telangana movement.

“Venkat Swamy gave us many suggestions and advice on how to fight for Telangana, how to motivate people, and how to convince all sections of society politically. It is very gratifying that his family continues to serve the public today in line with his aspirations,” Prabhakar explained.

Venkat Swamy’s one son as a minister, another son as an MLA, and his grandson as an MP are proof that his aspirations continue to serve the people. His followers, fans, and political leaders should take Venkat Swamy 's way of thinking and spirit of service as an ideal and move forward.

Only by doing justice to the poor and standing up for the oppressed we will be able to pay true tribute to him. “Wherever he is, I sincerely wish that his soul may rest in peace and that his aspirations continue for generations. Venkat Swamy 's services, inspiration, and commitment to the people are forever memorable,” he added.
