GUNTUR: A person belonging to neighbouring Telangana climbed ancient hilltop Pankala Lakshmi-narasimha Swamy temple in Mangalagiri, Andhra Pradesh, on knees seeking victory for Telugu Desam in 2019 elections and N. Chandrababu Naidu becoming the Chief Minister for a second term.
Telugu Rythu, Telangana state vice-president Solipuram Yesudeva Reddy of Nalgonda climbed the steps to the hill on Tuesday holding the photo of Mr Naidu in one hand.
A staunch supporter of TD, Yesu Reddy said that Mr Naidu is the best CM and that he works for the welfare of the public without corruption.
He said Mr Naidu's services were needed for the residuary state as they would augment development of the state and completion of world-class capital Amaravati.
He said he decided to worship Lord Panakala Swamy to bless Mr Naidu to become the CM in 2019.
Reddy said that earlier he climbed to the temple in 2007 and that this is the 41st temple he was climbing through the steps. He climbed to various temples on his knees in AP, Telangana and Tamil Nadu.
He expressed belief that Lord Panakala Swamy would listen to his prayers and make Mr Naidu the CM by helping the TD register a victory in the upcoming general elections.
Mangalagiri municipal chairman G. Chiranjeevi and other TD leaders accompanied the Telangana leader to the hilltop temple in AP.
