Stating that he was proud of born in Quileshapur village under Raghunathpally mandal, the native place of Papanna, Laxmaiah demanded Jangaon to be named after Sardar Sarwai Papanna district. "There was also a need for including the story of Papanna in the textbooks to spread his heroics that largely helped poor and downtrodden," Laxmaiah said.
Referring to the services of Prof Jayashankar, Telangana ideologue, and Konda Laxman Bapuji, freedom fighter and T activists, former minister urged the Central Government to honour them fittingly.
