A person who ascended Mount Everest to a height of 5,000 metres at the age of 80 made headlines. After reaching that altitude, Gingupalli Sivaprasad displayed the Telugu Desam flag there. N Chandrababu Naidu, the president of the Telugudesam, congratulated him. The former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh recalled that Siva Prasad had once accompanied him on a padayatra called "Vasthunna Mee Kosam" in the past. Sivaprasad has demonstrated that anything is achievable with enough willpower. He has received accolades from the TDP Chief, who called him a role model for young people.
