N. Lakshmi Parvathi, Telugu Academy chairperson and wife of former Chief Minister N.T. Rama Rao has clarified that the decision to change the name of NTR University of Health Sciences to Dr. YSR University of Health Sciences was not born out of jealousy or revenge toward NTR.
"If I am given a choice to decide whether to name a historic district like Krishna in the name of NTR or a University, I will choose the former. Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has shown his magnanimity in naming Krishna district as NTR District and I see no wrong in renaming the University as Dr. YSR University of Health Sciences. In fact, NTR Jr., the popular movie star gave a wonderful statement on this issue showing his maturity,” said Ms. Lakshmi Parvathi in a media conference at Tadepalli.
