Hyderabad, February 5

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao was conspicuously absent during the reception of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the airport here on Saturday.

Sources in the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) said KCR was unwell. Animal Husbandry Minister T Srinivas Yadav was deputed yesterday to receive the PM at the airport. Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan and Union Ministers Narendra Singh Tomar and G Kishan Reddy, besides others, accompanied the PM during his six-hour Hyderabad visit. During a visit to Punjab last month, Chief Minister Charanjit Channi, too, had stayed away from receiving the PM at Bathinda. Punjab Finance Minister Manpreet Badal had welcomed the PM at Bathinda Air Force Station. — TNS
