He asked the public to teach about the life of Potti Sriramulu to their children and let them know the sacrifice made by the great man for the state and country. Ongole RDO Prabhakara Reddy, municipal commissioner Niranjan Reddy, STEP CEO Narayana, municipal engineer Sundara Ramireddy and others also participated in the program.
