The Greatest Political Leader Of Andhra Pradesh: N T R

Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, or NTR as he is better known is the legend who restored the 3000 year old glory and tradition of Andhra Desam by beating the 97year old Congress Party by forming his own 'Telugu Desam' party and winning the 1983 elections in flat 9 months. This was to later get into the Guiness Book of World records. He was such unique that he served as the highest authority of Aandhra Pradesh for a mere 1Re. p.m. salary, inorder to motivate cost-cutting.

At a time when Politics meant stink NTR entered the arena, canvassed for 70days at a stretch, travelled 35000kms, reached out to the remotest parts and rose to become the Chief Minister. He introduced several schemes for the land tillers, peasants and underprivileged for he always lived by his words...

"The Society is my Temple- it's people my Deity's"

He was like a mountain in the terrific of winds as he always believed that as long as you're honest, unselfish and dedicated nothing can harm you. He served the people by these principles and this earned him an eternal place in the hearts of millions of people.Not only did the people of Aandhra adore him but worship him as Lord Rama, Lord Krishna, Lord Balaji etc., for it was he who donned the skin of these deity's in several mythological films, earlier in his acting career. He was at ease in any kind of character, from Lord Rama to Raavanasura, from Lord Krishna to Duryodhana and Karna, from Pitchi Pulliah to Sardar Paparayudu and Maj. Chandrakanth,
...the list is endless.

Though born into an agricultural family NTR rose to the highest position, and won the hearts of millions.
Infact, Nandamuri Taaraka Rama Rao is the most respected, adored and worshipped "Telugu Bidda" (Mother Telugu's son). This was the result of his rigorous discipline, sheer hardwork, endless enthusiasm and no-compromise attitude.

People of his generation may see him as the most versatile Actor, or the lion of a Leader, or an avatar of Lord Vishnu(for he played all of vishnu's avatars in films) but, for generations to come he will be remembered as......the Legend.
