Hyderabad: Union minister Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu, speaking at the BJP's 'Atal–Modi Suparipalana Yatra' rally in Bhimavaram, West Godavari district, lauded former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee as a towering figure who ushered in a new era in Indian politics. He emphasised that Vajpayee was respected across the political spectrum as a non-Congress leader.
Addressing the gathering, the minister urged the youth to follow Vajpayee's ideals, stating, "Vajpayee showed that politics is not merely about attaining power but about serving people with dedication. He believed that good governance is possible when everyone works together." Rammohan Naidu highlighted Vajpayee's resolve during the nuclear tests, noting that he "stood firm and asserted India's right to make independent decisions," despite warnings from global powers about sanctions.
He also pointed to Vajpayee’s focus on regional development, citing the establishment of a separate ministry to bring the northeastern states on par with the rest of the country. Furthermore, he credited Vajpayee with "laying the foundation for India's space programmes like Chandrayaan."
Recalling the close bond between Vajpayee and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Rammohan Naidu noted their crucial collaborative decisions in road infrastructure and information technology.
The Union minister announced that the Chief Minister will unveil a statue of Vajpayee in Amaravati on December 25, coinciding with the former Prime Minister’s 101st birth anniversary. The rally saw participation from other key leaders, including Union minister Srinivasa Varma and BJP state president D. Purandeswari.
