HYDERABAD: The chief ministers of four states formally inaugurated the second phase of 'Kanti Velugu', an eye screening programme, in Khammam on Wednesday. They also inaugurated the newly constructed Khammam district Collectorate complex.
Chief Ministers Arvind Kejriwal of Delhi, Bhagwant Mann of Punjab, Pinarayi Vijayan of Kerala along with Telangana Chief Minister and BRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao will address a massive public meeting of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) this evening.
All three CMs including the former CM of Uttar Pradesh Akhilesh Yadav and CPI general secretary D Raja arrived in Hyderabad last night. They held a meeting with the BRS president and CM Chandrasekhar Rao at Pragathi Bhavan.
Afterwards, they proceeded to Yadadri temple, the abode of Lakshmi Narasimha, by two choppers. The Yadadri temple was renovated by the State government and opened recently. The visiting leaders had all praises for the architectural wonder of Yadadri.
The chief priests of Yadadri and Vedic scholars performed special pujas. However, Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan and CPI leader D Raja did not attend the pujas, though they were inside the temple premises.
