Vegetable shops on South Mada Street in Mylapore had a surprise VIP visitor in the form of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday evening. She shopped for vegetables and greens before she left for New Delhi. Sundakkai (turkey berry), pidi karanai (wild yam) and five bunches of mulai keerai (a kind of amaranth) and manathakkali keerai (black night shade) were the items on her shopping list.
A tweet from her official handle said: During her day-long visit to Chennai, Smt @nsitharaman made a halt at Mylapore market where she interacted with the vendors & local residents and also purchased vegetables.
