Hyderabad: Congress leader N Uttam Kumar Reddy described former Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao as the doyen of reforms, especially economic and land reforms. He stated that the land reforms implemented by the former Prime Minister provided justice to the landless poor and the needy, resulting in social justice and set a precedent for other governments.

He was participating in a discussion on the land reforms implemented by Narasimha Rao as part of his year-long birth centenary celebrations being organised by TPCC in the State. “Narasimha Rao implemented land reforms in a historic manner in erstwhile Andhra Pradesh, despite severe opposition.
