N.T. Rama Rao is still an Icon in the Andhra Pradesh. In the CNN-IBN Poll, he was selected as greatest Telugu person by Andhra People. NTR is still revered as God by his followers. N.T. Rama Rao changed the political situation in Andhra Pradesh by forming Telugu Desam Party.
Views of Nara Chandrababu Naidu on NTR:
1. N.T.R was a much disciplined person. He used to wake up at 3 a.m., and did yoga for one hour. I used to visit him at 4.30 a.m., early in the morning, to discuss about the party affairs and also the matters regarding administration. On any day, if I failed to visit him, he used to phone me at that time and asked me to come over there at once for discussion.
2. The first time I met N.T.R While he was in a cinema shooting. At that time I was minister of cinematography in A.P. govt. N.T.R. came out from the shooting and talked to me for a long time.
3. N.T.R used to call me as “Babu”. He showed much affection towards me.
4. N.T.Rama Rao’s personality was extraordinary. He never showed laziness. If he wished to do anything he would not take rest until he achieves that thing. He was having good creativeness.
5. He always had soft corner towards the poor.
6. He was usually emotional and often not listen to others opinion.
7. The only thing which I did not like in N.T.R is that his nature of taking hasty decisions. He did not take much time to think over any problem. Some times I used to differ with him and left the place. Immediately I received a phone call from N.T.R.
8. Over all, N.T.R. was a good person. People of Andhra were of the opinion that N.T.R will not do any mistake. Such was his personality. His individuality was very great. He was tall and very handsome.
Can we see another NTR (of his stature) in our lifetime? May be not.
