Rama Rao remembered that Kaloji has been the voice of the voiceless and has been a fearless critic of autocracy, anarchy, and inequality using his writings as weapons.

He said Kaloji’s writings, rooted in the Telangana vernacular, remain a powerful voice for the common man and a source of pride for the State.

Kaloji fought for the rights and welfare of the common man, while his contribution to the State as a freedom fighter and Telangana activists are unparalled, he added.

He said the previous BRS government, under the leadership of K Chandrashekhar Rao, honoured Kaloji by establishing a medical university in his name and constructing the Kaloji Kalakshetra in Warangal.

Further, he said Kaloji’s birth anniversary is officially celebrated as Telangana Language Day and an award has been instituted in his name to honour the writers and poets of Telangana.

Former Minister T Harish Rao said Kaloji’s poems are as relevant today as they were during his lifetime.

He reaffirmed the BRS’ commitment to fight for the interests of Telangana, drawing inspiration from Kaloji’s words and legacy.

He recalled Kaloji’s poems, stating that they reflect today’s reality.

He extended wishes on Telangana Language Day, celebrating the life and contributions of Kaloji Narayana Rao, whose work continues to inspire the people of Telangana.
