Several party leaders including, YSRCP Telangana president P Srinivas Reddy, YSRCP MP Mekapati Rajmohan Reddy, Ummareddy Venkateswarlu, Bota Satyanaryana, participated in the event organised at the party's central office here.
Lauding the services of Rajasekhara Reddy, the leaders said his ideology and vision are relevant even today.
