CM Jagan bends, lends ear to Modi

Tirupati: An interesting scene was witnessed at the Renigunta airport when Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived there after his two-day visit to Maldives and Sri Lanka.

As the Prime Minister came down the aircraft, Governor ESL Narasimhan offered a rose and welcomed him. Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy who was standing next to him also offered a rose to the Prime Minister and bent down in his attempt to touch his feet. But Modi stopped him, said something and patted his back.

Even as both the leaders were seen smiling and exchanging pleasantries, Jagan again tried to touch his feet. Modi again stopped him. Later Jagan introduced other leaders of the YSRCP to the Prime Minister.

Union Minister of State for Home G Kishan Reddy and other BJP leaders were also present.
