Surabhi Vani Devi daughter of
P V Narasimha Rao, former
PM shared her family’s happiness on the Bharat Ratna honoured on her father finally which he deserved.

She further went on to add that it is a proud moment for the entire family and all are exceptionally happy that finally he has been found worthy for the highest civilian award though a delayed.

She also pointed that it is a moment of pride that he is remembered and credited for the economic reforms and the great services he rendered to this country.

Devi, is Bharat Rashtra Samithi MLC in the Telangana Legislative Council, said the honour for her father was a “little delayed”.

People talk about his contributions to the nation, but we feel that he was ignored.
She is extremely thankful to PM Modi for recognising what a great person her father P V Narasimha Rao was.

Infact, PM Modi understands that the path of progress and economic reforms that India is on now was set by her late father P V Narasimha Rao, and this is a great recognition for the services he provided to this nation.

Without mentioning Congress party, to which her father belonged, Devi said family members had been hurt that he was ignored and that his contributions to the nation were brushed aside for many years.

Rao’s grandson, N V Subhash,
a member of the BJP, without mincing words said that it is an emotional moment for him and the entire family of P V Narasimha Rao. The Congress party not only ignored him, but the Gandhi family made him the scapegoat for all the Congress party’s failures. Leave alone giving him any award, he has been insulted and sidelined. All the benefits that the Congress accrued from him were attributed to the Gandhi family, while all the failures have been attributed to Narasimha Rao.

Thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who understands the significance of his contribution to this nation,” he further added.

As per Sarpanch Rambabu Godishala of Laknepally village in Warangal district’s Narasampet, where Rao was born, residents burst firecrackers and distributed sweets when the news of the Bharat Ratna announcement came in. Everyone gathered at the P V Trust building run by the family, and celebrated the great honour bestowed on the son of this village. It is a proud moment for all of us.

In June 2020, the then BRS government in the state had announced a year-long centenary celebration of Narasimha Rao.

Then chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao had announced various programmes honouring and celebrating the late PM, who died in 2004.

In June 2019, a 26-foot tall statue of the former PM was unveiled at PV Gnana Bhoomi, on Necklace Road in Hyderabad.
