In an online post, the BJP leader praised Rao's pivotal contributions in steering India towards economic liberalisation, marking a transformative chapter in the nation's economic and political history.

"Heartfelt tributes on the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister, the late P.V. Narasimha Rao Ji, whose visionary leadership led India to historic economic reform," said CM Dhami.
