CM leaves by road due to bad weather:
Though AP Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu was supposed to return to Renigunta by helicopter after attending the programmes in Swarna Bharat Trust at Venkatachalam, bad weather on Sunday forced him to travel by road.
There was a heavy downpour in Venkatachalam area, when the Mr Naidu was addressing a public meeting. Interestingly, one of the programmes (Yagam) scheduled on Sunday was to overcome the famine conditions prevailing in the state.
The rain started soon after conclusion of the holy ritual (Poornahuthi) and the managing trustee of Swarna Bharat Trust Deepa Venkat attributed the rain to the success of Yagam held during 13th
anniversary of the trust.
