In a heart-warming incident, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao today sprang a surprise upon an old friend Bala Pochaiah from his Congress days.
The incident took place when KCR went to Raj Bhavan to participate in the International Yoga Day celebrations. Upon spotting Pochaiah, KCR hugged him affectionately and spoke for a while.
Those who witnessed this scene must have been reminded of the story of Lord Krishna and his poor childhood friend Kuchela/Sudhama.
KCR and Pochaiah are old friends, and worked together decades back in the youth wing of the Congress party.
KCR asked Pochaiah to meet him at his camp office and take up some designation in the TRS. Pochaiah was visibly ecstatic at the offer. (NSS)
