Urging the Centre to confer Bharata Ratna award on former chief minister late Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy, All India Congress Commiteee secretary and member of Legislative Council P Sudhakara Reddy said Ysr’s services for the betterment of weaker sections were unparalleled in history.Reddy told newsmen on Thursday that he had urged the Centre to install a portrait of Dr Reddy in Parliament and release a postage stamp in his memory for the services he rendered to the people of Andhra Pradesh.

Dr Reddy also requested members of the Srikrishna Committee, appointed to look into the Telangana statehood issue, not to give any interviews to the media before the announcement of the terms and conditions as this may create confusion in both the regions.
