Vani Devi stated that her father belongs to the whole nation.

"Everyone is happy. He is not only a son of Telugu soil but he belongs to the whole nation."

She further highlighted Rao's challenging tenure as Prime Minister and how emphasised his implementation of reforms that garnered global recognition.

"Beyond parties, recognising PV and conferring Bharat Ratna shows the good values and manners of our Prime Minister (Modi)," she said.

Though there is a slight delay, it's ok. Bharat Ratna is the highest civilian honor. Telangana people are very happy over Bharat Ratna being conferred upon Narasimha Rao. The family members are overwhelmed. We are very excited," Vani added.
