He noted that Shiv Shankar rose to become the No. 2 in the country under former prime minister Indira Gandhi.

He was speaking at Ravindra Bharathi on Sunday at a meeting to mark Shiv Shankar's 96th birth anniversary. The event, organised by his son Dr Punjala Vinay Kumar, chairman of the TPCC Samvidhan Bachao Programme Committee, drew ministers, legislators, bureaucrats, activists and admirers. The Congress leadership resolved to install a statue of the former Union minister, who held key portfolios including Law, Petroleum and External Affairs, at a prominent location.
