The minister stated that the government had recognized his contributions to the transformation of the country and it was conducting celebrations throughout the year to mark his centenary birth anniversary. In Spite of precious services by Rao, the Congress forgot him. But, the State had realized his matchless efforts and gave the party’s ticket to his daughter Vanidevi.
