Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC K. Kavitha has accused the Congress party of not only neglecting former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao but also making all efforts to push his invaluable services to the country when it was passing through a difficult stage and reformed the country’s economy into oblivion.
Speaking after unveiling a statue of P.V. Narasimha Rao at Nizamabad along with the late leader’s daughter and MLC S. Vani Devi and son P.V. Prabhakar Rao on Monday, she said P.V. Narasimha Rao had taken over the reigns of the country when it had to mortgage even its gold reserves and put back the economy on to rails with liberalisation policies by inducting economist Manmohan Singh, who later went on to become the Prime Minister twice, into his Cabinet as Finance Minister.
Economic reforms initiated by the duo had attracted flow of investments into the country from multinational companies across the globe. It was due to P.V. Narasimha Rao’s decisions lakhs of youth had secured jobs within the country and outside and crores of families had come above the poverty line. However, the Congress party did not give due recognition to him, but the State Government organised birth centenary celebrations of the late leader.
