Telugu states mourn former CM K Rosaiah

K Rosaiah

Tributes are pouring in from all corners of the Telugu states, for former Chief Minister of combined Andhra Pradesh, K Rosaiah who passed away on Saturday. Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao expressed his condolences, and remembered Rosaiah as one of the "leaders who brought many laurels to the posts he had held, such as the finance ministry".

Telangana governor Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan expressed grief and shock at the passing away of the former Governor of Tamil Nadu. Paying rich tributes to his memory, the Governor termed him as an iconic politician in the undivided Andhra Pradesh. "It is a great testimony to his unmatched acumen in administration that he presented the State Budget for a record number of 15 times," he observed.

Sworn in as Chief Minister following the death of YS Rajasekhara Reddy, Rosaiah had served from September 3, 2009 to November 24, 2010. After stepping down, the wizened Congress-man had a two-month stint as the Governor for Karnataka, before serving as Tamil Nadu governor from 2011 to 2016.
