The Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting him to honor the legendary playback singer, the late S.P. Balasubramanyam, with India's highest civilian honour – the Bharat Ratna for his contribution to music and arts.

"As a tribute to the legendary singer for his outstanding contribution in the field of music and art, I request you to confer Bharat Ratna award upon him", wrote Reddy.



He reminded the Prime Minister that music stalwarts such as Lata Mangeshkar, Bhupen Hazarika, M.S. Subbulakshmi, Bismillah Khan, and Bhimsen Joshi were also conferred with the Bharat Ratna.

"This will be the highest recognition to his remarkable work which lasted for five decades and stays in our memory forever", he added.

Justifying his request, the CM said that the late singer was awarded many national and state awards and sung over 40,000 songs which is a record.



"He won six national film awards for best male playback singer for his work, 25 AP state Nandi awards for his work in Telugu cinema, and numerous other state awards in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu", he said, among other awards.

Born in the Nellore district of southern Andhra Pradesh, Balasubramanyam passed away on Friday at the age of 74 in a Chennai hospital due to the covid-19.
