Hyderabad, Sept. 26 -- Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Saturday demanded that the Centre confer the Bharat Ratna on former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and establish a knowledge centre in his honour in New Delhi.
Unveiling a statue of Manmohan Singh at Wipro Circle, financial District, outskirts of the city, the Chief Minister criticised the union government for not taking steps to establish a memorial for the former Prime Minister in the national capital.
He asked the Centre to rise above political considerations while taking decisions to honour national leaders.
Revanth instructed Congress MPs to raise the demand for the Bharat Ratna for Manmohan Singh in Parliament and bring the issue to the Centre's attention.
