He took an uncompromising stand for the cause he was committed to and values he believed in.

The Chief Minister said Konda Lakshman Bapuji was a great source of inspiration during the days of independence struggle and two phases of the fight for Telangana statehood.

He served as a member of the State Legislative Assembly, Deputy Speaker and Minister and held many positions during his political career.

He had renounced the post of Minister for the cause of Telangana to which he remained committed.

The Chief Minister asserted that the State government was able to fulfill the aspirations of Bapuji through its policies and programmes devised to uplift the disadvantaged sections. The State government was organising Konda Lakshman Bapuji’s birth anniversary celebrations officially every year.
