BJP MLA from Visakhapatnam North P Vishnu Kumar Raju said the leaders in the past had failed to create a sense of patriotism among the children. Now, the children would be asked to learn about the great leaders like Bala Gangadhar Tilak, Subhash Chandra Bose and Sardar VallabhbhaiPatel so that they will develop patriotism from childhood.

City president M Nagendra said after the country achieved Independence, the history was confined to one family ignoring the other great leaders. Now, the time has come to teach the children about the great freedom fighters ignored by the earlier regimes. He said lack of patriotism among the people led to disharmony in the country and sowed seeds of terrorism.
