Tanguturi should be role model to everyone

Under the aegis of PG Dept of Public Administration and UG Dept of Political Science, Sri YN College, Narsapur celebrated 146th birth anniversary of Andhra Kesari Tanguturi Prakasham Pantulu on Wednesday. Dr ARS Kumar, Principal of the college presided over the programme and asked the students to take Tanguturi as their role model for their leadership qualities.

Chief speaker, Ch Reddappa Dhaveji, said that Tanguturi Prakasam has his own mark in the freedom movement and Andhra politics by his sincerity and dedication to the nation and for people. “During the Salt Satyagraha, Quit India Movement, Simon Commission’s Visit and entire freedom movement he exhibited his dearness and fearlessness.

He was the man who stood against the Brit soldiers and showed his chest against their guns. He was the only one person who showed the setbacks of actions of Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru,” he said. Dhaveji added, “He was elected as a Chairman of Rajahmahendravaram Municipality and contributed for the construction of Godavari Bund.

He was also instrumental in the establishment of SV University in Tirupati, abolition of Zamindari System in Madras State, re-construction of Krishna Barrage (Prakasham Barrage), Establishment of Andhra Capital in Karnool etc.”

“He spent all his rich assets for public purpose and at last, died as a poor man, so the youth and politicians should take Tanguturi as their role model for their career,” he said.
