Chandrababu misses Republic Day celebrations

Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, who was scheduled to reach Vijayawada at 7 am today, missed out the Republic Day celebrations held at the Indira Gandhi Municipal Corporation (IGMC) stadium in Vijayawada as he was stuck at Abu Dhabi on his return from Davos in Switzerland. 

Due to a thick cover of fog at the airport, the flight he was to catch was delayed. Chandrababu is expected to reach Vijayawada around 4 pm today, about nine hours behind schedule. 

The Chief Minister’s wife Bhuvaneswari instead, hoisted the National Flag at the CM’s residence in the presence of people’s representatives and proceeded to take part in the celebrations at the IGMC stadium. 

Governor of AP and Telangana, ESL Narasimhan took part in the RD celebrations in Vijayawada.
