He was such a great person that he had completed his LLB and LLM education after his retirement as the UBI branch manager only for the cause of society and update his knowledge about the law and file consumer-related and other public issues cases in the courts. He had never say to anyone who approaches him for justice. He is the real man of the masses and always concerned about the society and their wellbeing.

Ironically, the leaders belonging to Lok Satta udyama samstha, KCC, Karimnagar Film Society, RTI activists and other organisations make tall claims to fulfill the aspirations of Naredla Srinivas on the occasion of his birth and death anniversaries by garlanding his portrait. But, in reality they would not do anything to follow his footsteps.
