TDP MLC Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy led men of letters in honouring Prakasam Zilla Rachayitala Sangham president B. Hanuma Reddy for his contributions in enriching the language.
“It was based on the valuable inputs provided by the Sangham, I was able to articulate the demand for classical language status for Telugu effectively in Parliament,” said the former MP at a function got up to felicitate the Sangham president who was honoured with ‘Gidugu Bhasha Puraskar’ by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu recently.
Accepting the felicitations, Mr. Hanuma Reddy observed that the onus of nurturing Telugu language was equally with the governments in Telangana and AP as also the Centre. Sangham secretary Ponnuri Venkata Srinivasulu sought setting up of academies for fine arts across the two States for promotion of music, dance and literature.
