I am indebted to the YS family, who have believed in and supported me for four decades and three generations. I am forever grateful to Jagan garu for giving me the opportunity to be a Rajya Sabha member twice, and to Bharatamma garu for taking me to such a high level. I wish Jagan garu all the best.”
