Performing Poojas for new vehicles is an age-old tradition that has been going on for a very long time. It is a part of the Hindu tradition to perform a Pooja hoping for a stroke of good luck and safety and the process is called Vahana Pooja. Irrespective of the vehicle the Pooja is performed.
From common people to big personalities everyone does that. When Russia sent us war vehicles and special jets the Defence Minister welcomed them by performing a Pooja. Those who believe in God perform Pooja for the vehicle. Now a Vahana Pooja has become a sensation and raised many eyeballs.
Boinapally Srinivas Rao who owns Prathima Chain of Hospitals recently visited the famous Yadadri and took the blessings of the deity. A vahana Pooja was performed to his new chopper by priests and this became a sensation. We don’t see helicopters getting such a ceremony usually.
Besides Srinivas Rao, former Governor Vidyasagar Rao and their family members were also present when the priests performed Pooja for the chopper. As people tried to see the chopper getting a Pooja ceremony, the Police reached the spot to provide security.
Former Maharashtra Governor CH Vidyasagar Rao’s presence at the ceremony did not surprise anyone as he is a distant relative of the Boinpally family. After the Pooja, the duo went for a short ride in the chopper as per the media.
Now the discussion on who will use the chopper has started. A few say that he might have purchased it for himself as he is the Director of Hyderabad Airline. However, there is also a debate that the chopper might be used by Telangana Chief Minister KCR.
Boinapally Srinivas Rao is the brother of B. Vinod Kumar, a former Lok Sabha Member of TRS. Vinod Kumar is said to be a close associate of Chief Minister KCR as he is one of the founder members of TRS which has now become BRS.
Moreover, KCR wants to bring an alternative force at the Centre and he needs to go to the national capital Delhi regularly. For this, he needs a special vehicle and the chopper purchased by Boinapally Srinivas Rao might come in handy as per the reports.
