The State government may soon install the statue of freedom fighter Komaram Bheem, and also produce a film on his life.
Speaking to media persons at the Secretariat on Wednesday, 20-point Program Chairman Tulasi Reddy revealed that that a GO has been issued for installing the statue of the Girijan leader.
Tulasi Reddy further revealed that the only reason installing the statue was being delayed was because the government had not finalized the location yet.
Apart from this, Tulasi Reddy added, the government was also planning a feature film on Komaram Bheem.
Condemning remarks of TRS leader K Tarakarama Rao, the Chairman said that the government had also named a minor irrigation project in Adilabad district after Komaram Bheem in recognition of his services and sacrifices made while fighting against the Nizam's rule.
Tulasi Reddy further pointed out that TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao did nothing to give respect to the late freedom fighter at the time he was serving as a minister in the NTR government.
In fact, Tulasi Reddy argued, KCR was trying to bring in regionalism in the statues installed on the Tank Bund.
