YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, who celebrated his 47th birthday on Friday, received birthday greetings from unexpected quarters: Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
Naidu tweeted on his handle: “Warm wishes to @ysjagan garu on his birthday. May he be blessed with health and happiness!” And Jagan promptly replied: “Thank you for the wishes, @ncbn garu!”
Apparently, Naidu remembered how he had to face a lot of criticism from various sections of people for not calling on Jagan, when the latter was attacked with a sharp weapon by a restaurant worker at Visakhapatnam on October 25. On the other hand, he made sarcastic comments on the attack on Jagan’s life.
And there are no instances of Naidu wishing Jagan on any occasion in the past, for which he had received flak from various quarters.
That is why, the TDP president chose to wish Jagan this time. Interestingly, he only wished that Jagan be blessed with health and happiness; and not power!
Another interesting aspect of Jagan’s birthday was greetings from Telangana Rashtra Samithi MP and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s daughter Kalvakuntla Kavitha.
“Jagan Anna, many happy returns of the day,” she said in her twitter message. Of course, she greeted him only after a Jagan fan reminded her that it was Jagan’s birthday today and requested her to wish him.
The YSRC president, too, reciprocated her greetings calling her Kavithamma. The exchange of wishes certainly signifies growing friendship between TRS and YSRC!
