Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi requesting him to confer ‘Bharat Ratna’ to the legendary playback singer SP Balasubrahmanyam, who breathed his last on September 25.

The legendary singer sang more than 40,000 songs in different languages including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Hindi and Malayalam. The singer has been showered with several awards in his illustrious singing career. YS Jagan further added that, “Bharat Ratna will be the highest recognition to his remarkable work which has lasted for 5 decades and stays in our memory forever.”

On August 5, SPB was admitted to MGM Healthcare Hospital after he tested positive for the coronavirus. After showing signs of recovery, the health condition of SPB deteriorated on Thursday. He passed away on Friday after suffering a cardio-respiratory arrest.
