-Naidu pays tributes at NTR Ghat
AMARAVATI: TDP National President and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday visited the location at MLA Quarters in Hyderabad where NTR founded the Telugu Desam Party on this day 40 years ago.
“History was created exactly this day four decades ago. Unrivalled film star NTR could not bear the insults done to Telugu race and came out to do something for the people who have been showing their boundless love for him,” said Naidu.
Formally launching the party’s 40th foundation day celebrations, the TDP chief asserted that the Telugu Desam would remain as long as there would be Telugu race on this planet. The TDP had made a deep impact on the political scene of not just Andhra Pradesh but the entire country. Henceforth, the country’s political history would be divided into before and after NTR founded the TDP.
Naidu recalled how NTR spontaneously announced the formation of the TDP during an unplanned visit to the New MLA Quarters in those days. He went there along with some individuals for a discussion. After listening to the gathering of people, women and youth there, he announced the party without a second thought.
Chandrababu Naidu asserted that it was NTR who first underscored the importance of welfare and development. He showed the strength of Telugu self-respect to the outside world. “There have been many ups and downs in the TDP journey. The party has created history many times in the last 40 years. Once again, the party cadres will re-dedicate themselves to the pride of Telugu people.”
The TDP chief called upon everybody to remember the past glory of Telugu race and realise the need to uphold its prestige once again. It was an unforgettable moment that the 40 years celebrations were launched from the MLA Quarters where it was founded.
Naidu said nobody would be able to separate the TDP from the Telugu people. The TDP would have its presence wherever there would be Telugu people in any place in the world. NT Rama Rao was such a personality who would live forever in the hearts of Telugu people.
The TDP chief said that their party would continue the legacy of NTR and walk in his footsteps for the sake of Telugu people and their self-respect.Along with party politburo members and other leaders, Chandrababu Naidu visited the NTR Ghat in Necklace Road and paid tributes to the departed leader.
