After disparaging former Prime Minister and Congress President PV Narasimha Rao for decades, Congress suddenly remembers him on his birth anniversary because Telangana elections are round the corner. Lets not forget that Sonia Gandhi denied him dignity even death. His mortal remains were not allowed to be placed in the Delhi Congress HQ for people to pay their last respects.
Let alone be given a resting place or memorial in Delhi, his family was asked to hold final rites in, what was then undivided Andhra Pradesh. Even though he was the architect of India’s liberalisation and economic reforms, Congress humiliated him, spared no attempts to obliterate his legacy.
It was 10 years after his death, under the Modi Govt, that former Prime Minister Rao got a memorial at ‘Rashtriya Smriti’ in Delhi.
Even Rahul Gandhi, during his Bharat Jodo Yatra, didn’t find it appropriate to pay his respects at Narasimha Rao’s memorial in Hyderabad, when it was stones throw away from the route he was on.
