Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday urged the central government to confer the Bharat Ratna on former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and establish a knowledge centre in his name in Delhi. Speaking after unveiling a statue of Singh at Wipro Circle in Hyderabad's Financial District, Reddy said it was deplorable to consider party affiliation when recognising a leader of Singh's stature. He said Telangana's Congress MPs would raise the demand in Parliament and press the Congress leadership to mount pressure on the Centre.
Reddy credited Singh and former Congress president Sonia Gandhi with fulfilling the decades-old demand for a separate Telangana state. He recalled Singh's role as RBI governor and finance minister in the P.V. Narasimha Rao government, saying his liberalisation policies rescued the country from the 1991 economic crisis. Former chief justice N.V. Ramana and former Supreme Court judge B. Sudarshan Reddy attended the event. The Centre has not yet responded to the demand.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three outlets report the same event and demand with straight news-agency style, attributing Reddy's remarks directly. The Hindu and Times of India lead with the Bharat Ratna demand and include the knowledge centre proposal. Siasat foregrounds Reddy calling the government's stance 'deplorable' and frames the appeal as a political challenge. None of the sources report a government response or counterview, making the coverage uniform. The story's next milestone will be whether Congress MPs follow through on their promised parliamentary push.
The coverage is uniform straight reporting with no discernible slant across outlets. The next milestone will be whether Congress MPs follow through on their promised parliamentary push.
