Reading about his long service from MLA to CM is inspiring. 90 years is a full life, but the loss is still felt. My condolences to his family, especially his son who is now carrying forward his legacy in public service.

Om Shanti. His tenure as CM in 1984 was brief but notable. It's a reminder of a time when Andhra was united. While the state has split, the respect for its old leaders remains. A dignified end for a veteran.

While the condolences are appropriate, I hope this moment also makes us reflect. We often only celebrate leaders after they're gone. We should appreciate and learn from their experience while they are still with us.

Seeing Bandaru Dattatreya, a former Haryana Governor, paying respects in Hyderabad shows how Bhaskar Rao's influence went beyond just state politics. A life well-lived in service. Deepest condolences to the Nadendla family.
