Former Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar said that Babu Jagjivan Ram strived for the uplift of downtrodden people across the country and became a role model for all.
She was speaking after launching a book titled Karma Yogi Babu Jagjivan Ram authored by Srungarapati Anand Babu, in Guntur on Saturday.
Ms. Meira Kumar said that she had visited Guntur in the past to unveil a statue of Jagjivan Ram. “I will come to A.P. for any progressive programme for the benefit of oppressed sections. The people in Andhra Pradesh are always positive,” she added. Appreciating the former Minister and TDP leader Kanna Lakshminarayana, Ms. Meira Kumar said that he has been with the downtrodden people.
