Sign the Petition to Honor a True People's Leader: Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga

 

 

Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga Rao, fondly known as VMR, was not just a political leader but a beacon of hope, a symbol of resilience, and a true champion of the people. His life and legacy deserve to be immortalized, and what better way to honor him than by renaming Vijayawada International Airport to Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga International Airport?

The Man Behind the Name

Born on July 4, 1947, Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga was a prominent leader in Andhra Pradesh, known for his unwavering commitment to the upliftment of the underprivileged and marginalized communities. He began his political career inspired by his elder brother, Vangaveeti Radha Krishna Rao, and quickly became a revered figure in the local politics of Vijayawada.

A Leader of the People

VMR’s dedication to the welfare of the people was unparalleled. He worked tirelessly to secure lands for the landless, fought for the rights of farmers, and was a staunch advocate for social justice. His efforts were not limited to political rhetoric; VMR took concrete actions to ensure that the needs of the common man were met. He organized numerous protests and demonstrations to demand fair treatment and resources for those who were often overlooked by society.

The Ultimate Sacrifice

Tragically, VMR's life was cut short on December 26, 1988, when he was assassinated during a hunger strike. He was protesting against the government's unfair practices and was fighting for the rightful allocation of lands to the needy. His death was a profound loss to the community, but it also solidified his status as a martyr who gave his life for the cause of justice and equality.

Why Rename the Airport?

Renaming Vijayawada International Airport to Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga International Airport is not just about changing a name. It is about recognizing and honoring a man whose life was dedicated to the betterment of his community. It is about ensuring that future generations remember and draw inspiration from VMR’s sacrifices and ideals.

An airport named after VMR will serve as a constant reminder of his contributions to society. It will stand as a testament to his enduring legacy and the values he championed. This change will also reflect the spirit of Vijayawada and Andhra Pradesh – a spirit of resilience, compassion, and unwavering dedication to justice.
