In an interesting display of the spirit of Raksha Bandhan, TDP Srikalahasthi constituency in-charge Bojjala Sudheer Reddy’s wife Rishitha Reddy tied ‘rakhi’ to the policemen who were at their residence. The police put her husband under house arrest, as were many other TDP leaders, allegedly to thwart the ‘Chalo Vijayawada’ protest programme planned by the party. She offered the police the traditional ‘haarati’, taking everyone by surprise.
Meanwhile, the Union government projecting the ₹200 price slash of gas cylinders as a Raksha Bandhan gift from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the women of India, the BJP women’s wing wasted no time in celebrating the occasion.
