 Hyderabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi condoled the death of Ramaiah and said he would be remembered for ages as a man worked for stability of the Earth. “Future generations would continue to get inspiration from Ramaiah’s life,” Modi said.

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said that Ramaiah strongly believed that survival of mankind was impossible without nature and environment. “Ramaiah launched the plantation as an individual and influenced the entire society,” he said. The Padma Shri awardee inspired the youth by dedicating his life to environmental protection.

Former chief minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao recalled how the contribution of the ‘tree man’ had inspired the then BRS government to launch the Haritha Haram scheme.

Union minister G. Kishan Reddy recalled that Ramaiah had planted over 1 crore saplings. Union minister of state Bandi Sanjay recalled that he put names of plants to his family members, which reflects his affection and bonding with nature.

Deputy CM Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, ministers Ponnam Prabhakar, Jupally Krishna Rao, Danasari Anusuya, TPCC chief Mahesh Kumar Goud and others condoled the demise of Ramaiah.

Former minister Harish Rao said Ramaiah had lived his life believing the adage `Vruksho Rakshati Rakshita Ha’. Ramaiah treated plants as his own kids during, Harish Rao said. Even when he fell ill, Ramaiah continued planting and protecting trees.

BRS leader K.T. Rama Rao recalled that Ramaiah had cooperated with the Harita Haram programme and said there was a dire need to have people like Ramaiah to protect the environment.
