“The best tribute we can pay to Potti Sriramulu is to achieve comprehensive development of Andhra Pradesh, propelling it into a $2.2 trillion economy.”
He commented, “Potti Sriramulu’s greatness became evident after the partition of the state. His idol is nowhere to be found except in the Arya Vaishya community. He is not just a leader of any one caste or community but a respected leader across the country.”
