Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday paid tributes to Potti Sriramulu and Sardar Vallabhai Patel on their death anniversary.
“I pay my homage to Potti Sriramulu on the occasion of his death anniversary. He was a valiant and noble soul who participated in India’s freedom struggle under the influence of Mahatma Gandhi’s principles and also took part in the Salt Satyagraha and the Quit India
Movement,” Naidu said in a post on X.
According to the CM, Sriramulu was a great man who fought with firm resolve for a separate State for the Telugu people and achieved it, leading to the creation of Andhra Pradesh.
“Bowing my head in reverence, I pay my respects to that great soul (Sriramulu) who set the precedent for the formation of linguistic States by sacrificing his life,” the Chief Minister said.
