In a gathering of political leaders on Sunday, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy referred to Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya as an “Ajatashatru,” or one who has no enemies. The compliment was made during the launch event for Dattatreya’s autobiography titled “Prajala kathe, naa atma katha” (The story of people is my life story), in Hyderabad.
Reddy noted that Dattatreya commanded bipartisan respect, much like former Prime Minister late Atal Bihar Vajpayee did. The sentiment was echoed by several other dignitaries and leaders at the event, including ex-President Ram Nath Kovind, former Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu, and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu.
Kovind described Dattatreya as a “rare leader” who has been a “friend to all.” The 77-year-old leader, an Other Backward Class (OBC) figure, began his public life in 1965 when he joined the RSS, the BJP’s ideological fountainhead.
Bandaru Dattatreya hails from Hyderabad and has made significant contributions to Indian politics throughout his career. His autobiography offers insights into his political journey and life experiences.
