Yechury was a true son of Hyderabad,” KT Rama Rao the BRS working President remarked. “He studied at All Saints school and was a student of the nearby Grammar School. He graduated from Nizam College, just as I did in subsequent years.
Yechury was a voice that questioned for the sake of the poor, a leader with great grace.”
Rama Rao quoted Yechury, saying, “When democracy is threatened, even silence is considered complicity.” He added, “If I ever feel lost in the battle, I look to CPI (M) leader Sitaram Yechury for inspiration.”
The memorial meeting was a poignant reminder of Yechury’s enduring legacy and his relentless fight for the underprivileged.
Former Chief Secretary Mohan Kanda, CPI(M) politburo member B V Raghavulu and CPI(M) State secretary Tammineni Veerabhadram were among those who spoke on the occasion.
