Telangana celebrates CM KCR’s 63rd birthday

Hyderabad: As Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao turned 63 on Friday, special pujas were held at temples and important religious places across the State even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended greetings to him on Twitter.

Members of Telangana Archaka Samakhya (Temples’ Priests Association) performed special pujas at as many as 12,254 temples across the state seeking blessings of the Almighty for the CM, said Upendra Sharma, working president of the outfit.

“We performed pujas in all the temples for the health and wealth of the CM for his



efforts in developing the state,” Sharma said.

A cake weighing 63 kilograms was cut by Ministers Mohammad Ali and Nayani Narasimha Reddy and TRS MP Kavitha at TRS party office amid senior leaders and party workers.

KCR’s son and Telangana Minister for IT and Industries KT Rama Rao tweeted, “To the greatest son of Telangana, a peerless leader & a fearless fighter.. proud that he is my father. Wish you a very Happy Birthday Dad.” Though party workers and many people are celebrating KCR’s birthday, the CM wants it to remain a low key affair.
