Over 25,000 people visited the 30-feet tall statue of Alluri Sitarama Raju at ASR Park in Bhimavaram on Tuesday, a day after the structure was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the occasion of the freedom fighter’s 125th birth anniversary.
The statue in Bhimavaram is the tallest in the southern States, the organisers said.
“On Monday, thousands of people visited the statue and paid tributes to the ‘Manyam Veerudu’. The rush continued into the evening and villagers paid floral tributes to the freedom fighter at his statue at ASR Nagar,” said Kshatriya Seva Samithi (KSS) AP and Telangana general secretary Nadimpalli Nani Raju.
