A couple of weeks ago, the Modi government announced Padma Vibhushan, the country’s second highest honour, for media baron and filmmaker Ramoji Rao for his services in the fields of journalism, education and literature.
This morning, firebrand politician from Rajahmundry and Ramoji’s staunch rival Undavalli Arun Kumar said that Ramoji Rao is not eligible for Padma honour. Stating that Ramoji has been facing several long pending cases since 1996, Undavalli questioned the AP government’s decision to recommend Ramoji Rao’s name and the central government’s intent behind choosing him for the Padma honour.
Undavalli further said that Ramoji Rao cheated the government through his Margadarshi Chit Fund company in the past and that he never wrote a book or can’t even write a 100 words-long column to be chosen for the honour for his services in journalism and literature.
Undavalli finally concluded saying he will approach the Indian President Pranab Mukherjee against Ramoji’s Padma award and even distributed the court notices and other proofs against Ramoji Rao in connection with several of his cases to the journalists.
