Union Minister for Culture and Tourism G. Kishan Reddy has said that as part of the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, the Government of India will organise the 125 th birth anniversary celebrations of freedom fighter Alluri Sitharamaraju from July 4.
“The celebrations will be organised at Vignan Bhavan in New Delhi; Bhimavaram and Rajamahendravaram in Andhra Pradesh; and Hyderabad in Telangana for a period of one year,” Mr. Kishan Reddy said while speaking at a programme organised by the Kshatriya Samajam to commemorate Sitharamaraju’s death anniversary here on Saturday.
Mr. Kishan Reddy said it was unfortunate that not many in various parts of the country knew much about Alluri Sitharamaraju.
