Senior Telugu Desam Party leader and MLA Motkupalli Narasimhulu, on Saturday, hailed Telangana Jagruthi president K Kavitha for her 48-hour hunger strike demanding the installation of Dr. B R Ambedkar's statue in the Assembly premises.
Talking to media persons after garlanding the statue of Dr. Ambedkar at Tank Bund, to mark his 122nd birth anniversary, Motkupalli Narasimhulu said, "This is the first time that a person from TRS president K Chandrasekhara Rao's family is sitting in a hunger fast strike for the cause of installing Dr. Ambedkar's statue."
Stating that TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu has repeatedly demanded the installation of Dr. Ambedkar's statue, he said that leaders of all political parties have been mounting pressure on the government to take a favourable decision on the issue.
At least now, the government must respond, and take steps for installing Ambedkar's statue in the Assembly premises soon, he demanded. (INN)
