On the occasion of Ramzan, Telangana and AP Governor E S L Narasimhan is holding an ifthar party at Raj Bhavan on July 10 at 7 pm. Narasimhan extended invitations to the two Chief Ministers K Chandrashekar Rao and N Chandrababu Naidu, and ministers, officials and other guests for the occasion.
However, it is being stated that Naidu may skip the party if his Telangana counterpart attends the same, since the two CMs are at loggerheads over the note-for-vote scam. And KCR is most likely to turn up.
Naidu, who was on a Japan tour, could manage not to attend the "At Home" tea party offered by President Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtrapathi bhavan in Bollaram on July 8. Earlier Naidu had also abstained from welcoming President Pranab Mukherjee personally upon his arrival in Hyderabad for his 10-day southern sojourn. (NSS)
