South India has seen a history of film demigods and superstars becoming great leaders and showing excellence in politics but it took a legend to change the political map of Andhra Pradesh. He is none other than Nandamuri Tarakarama Rao and today is his death anniversary.
This gives a moment for many to recollect the ‘Prabhanjanam’ N T R created when he entered active politics in 1982 and formed the Telugu Desam Party. As his close friend Akkineni Nageswara Rao once recollected “Rama Rao was always keen on doing something for the Telugu people and their identity. I used to discourage him but he always said ‘No brother something must be done’”
That thought has brought about a party which is the correct definition for Telugu identity. N T R has also worked hard to create a respectable presence in front of the nation and world. It is many years since he passed away but still he remains in millions of Telugu hearts. APHerald salutes this legend.
