Khammam: Former Chief Minister K. Rosaiah on Friday said that CPI leader and former MLA Puvvada Nageswara Rao stood for the issues of oppressed people when he was an MLA and MLC. “Puvvada Nageswara Rao used to raise the public issues with thorough knowledge and presented a true picture of the goings on to the government,” Mr Rosaiah said, adding that the former MLA never compromised on issues.
The former Chief Minister was addressing a function to mark the 80th birthday of Mr Nagewsawara Rao.
