Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan hosted the traditional ‘At Home’ on the occasion of Independence Day at Raj Bhavan. The event was not held last year due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, who was expected to be present for the gathering, dropped out at the last minute. Mr. Rao had given indication that he had mended fences with the Governor when he attended the swearing-in of the Chief Justice of High Court last month. But, his absence at Raj Bhavan on Monday was unexpected.
Dr. Soundararajan told The Hindu that she was expecting the Chief Minister to make it. “He was supposed to come. They (CMO) sent an itinerary also. We were waiting for him, but he didn’t come,” she said.
