Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has defended learning the Hindi language. "While today we are all talking about why we should learn Hindi, former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao mastered 17 languages embodying India's rich cultural diversity," he said.

Naidu said this aspect of Rao's life serves as an inspiration in today's context, where language has increasingly become a subject of debate. He didn't just learn Hindi but other languages too, and that's how he became a great man, Naidu said while delivering a lecture on 'The Life and Legacy of PV Narasimha Rao' at the Prime Ministers Museum and Library in New Delhi on Tuesday.
