In May, KTR received a tweet from Mitta’s granddaughter Nidhi Reddy. She asked KTR if he would launch her grandfather book who was a freedom fighter and a retired Osmania University professor. KTR responded almost immediately, “Absolutely. Least I can do for a hero like your grandfather.”
On Sunday, KTR visited Mitta’s residence in Habsiguda along with Energy Minister Jagdish Reddy and Mayor Bonthu Ram Mohan. Talking to KTR, Mitta expressed his happiness over the TRS governance in the State.
KTR said, “The words from the freedom fighter is an encouragement to the future generations. The freedom we enjoy today is because of the struggles of great freedom fighters like Mitta Yadava Reddy.”
