The year-long birth centenary celebrations of the former Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party founder N.T. Rama Rao began on a grand note, as more than a lakh TDP workers swarmed the busy Addanki bus stand centre here to remember the darling of the masses.
Kickstarting the celebrations, TDP national president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu described NTR as a champion of food security in the country as his ₹2-a-kg rice scheme had become a model for all States to make hunger a thing of the past.
