Walk The Talk: P V Narasimha Rao

Walk The Talk: Former Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao, one of the "quietest politicians we've known," talks to Shekhar Gupta about how his sense of humour has not been dented by being in power, why Indian politicians use history and heritage as election platforms, and the challenges that he faced when he took over as Prime Minister of a country on the verge of bankruptcy.

[@rameshvemuganti7659]

Firstly, we take pride in stating that Sri P V Narasimha Rao garu hails from a village, Vangara, in the district of Karimnagar, which is also our district. A unique personality in multifarious ways, he rose up as a practicing lawyer in the town Manthani, to occupy the highest place as the Prime Minister and wrote himself into the annals of Indian history. A man who made it on his own, without any lobby or a group or community as a backing. Profound knowledge, well versed with varied subjects, quick grasping of ground realities, proficiency in 16 languages, devising apt strategies and Situational management were amongst his several strengths. He proved one thing. Merit cannot be transferred or taken away from any person. Mrs Indira Gandhi always wanted him in the proximity and consulted him for many decisions which shaped the destiny of the nation in the right direction. Spectacular achievements have sprinkled during his tenure as the Prime Minister. Few of them are - 8 Metros have witnessed an unprecedented growth with sprawling of MNC brands in industry, services and retail segments, India becoming a powerful IT services czar, millions of jobs getting created, all long pending internal inter states and other issues getting resolved amicably, bringing the noted economist Sri Manmohan Singhji on board as he Finance Minister , the historic and timely economic reforms, and a host of reforms which catapulted India on to the fast track economic growth and an emerging Global giant in two decades. , it is all Sri PV Narasimha Rao garu, Every Indian is indebted to him for a comfortable living, today from various dimensions and perspectives. Kudos to our visionary Telangana Chief Minister Sri K Chandrashekar Rao garu for announcing a year long engagements and events on the birth anniversary of Sri PV Narasimha Rao garu and taking it across to 50 to 60 countries. It is a befitting tribute. Many young and ambitious Indians can get inspired with Sri PV Narasimha Rao garu to enter politics to bring about the most needed changes which India needs now.

The finest PM we have ever had. A scholar, a teetotaler and austerity personified. A linguist with fluency in ten languages. A man of spartan habits. The kind of changes he brought about in Indian economy with his trusted FM were not only radical but were of far reaching significance. Unfortunately, the Congress party did him disservice by not acknowledging his contribution. In fact the party disowned him for the unfortunate incident of 6th December 1992. He certainly deserves a Bharat Ratna for his excellent contribution to India's development.

Sonia Gandhi and his party never accepted his dead body and never entered the Congress office...😢😢😢

What a useless comment. Of course his access to power is patronage of IG; afterall how does he hold high office in Congress party (fully run on patronage). This does not take away from his political smartness and of course PM ship. We should not pretend that a person like PVN had to come to power through patronage rather than popular support from the electorate.

[@santhoshrajan579]

The Best Prime Minister India has seen till date - no nehru, no gandhi family, no BJP clan of ABV, no manmohan or Modi. A man of immense intellectual capacity who after being a minority government steered this country to economic liberalization that no body could have ever dared of. The only man to have an opposition cadre, Subramaniam swamy in a cabinet portfolio in his Government and sending Vajpayee to address the UN. He created an echelon of a Political System of his own which was inclusive of Opposition BJP too. No doubt he is called as "The Chanakya" of Modern India.

[@edlamallareddy1289]

I dont know how old you are. As a young man he saw communists launching a heroic fight for land in Telangana. They taught him a lesson or two in serious politics. The old Nizam state gave PV and others a taste of communal politics . He understood what a just Hindu reaction could be . Rayalaseema & Telangana Reddys pulled him down and he knew his own merit as a brahmin. Later his long stay in Delhi and loyalty to Indira made him an insider. Thus he was schooled thrice .

[@uguensonam1459]

@@karthika560 Haha is it a joke? Swamy makes all these baseless claims about his knowledge and achievement but nothing to show in real life. It was balance of payment crisis in 1991 which forced PV Narasimha Rao to listen to Manmohan Singh. If the crisis didn't happen, it is unlikely that Liberalization would happen in 1991 .
