Kakani, a legendary leader, a true representative of people!

Kakani Venkata Ratnam died 50 years ago. But he is remembered even now, in Krishna district in particular. He continues to be recalled and inspire many. Last fortnight, for example, a girl’s school unveiled Kakani’s photo on their campus, Senior Citizens office has now prominently positioned his photo. This is just what I knew personally. An agitation to relocate his statue in a prominent circle in Vijayawada has been on for a while. Many in high positions, including in USA, thank him for their education. Many housewives and small farmers continue to recall his initiative for the milk revolution and elevating their lives. My observation is he is recalled as a leader by even more now than a couple of years ago. How come?
