It is a known fact that former union minister and Rajya Sabha member T Subbarami Reddy is a cheap publicity monger. He does not lose any opportunity to grab the media limelight and get some publicity.
The other day, Subbarami Reddy attended a function organized by the National Thermal Power Corporation at Visakhapatnam to declare the commercial operation of its unit-III of 500 MW capacity.
The chief guest at the function was union power minister Sushil Kumar Shinde.
While welcoming him, NTPC chairman and managing director Aroop Roy Chowdhury reminded the audience that it was the birthday of Shinde. Everybody greeted the union minister and presented him with bouquets.
Subbarami Reddy was perhaps feeling jealous. When his turn came to speak, he said it was a happy occasion, as Shinde was celebrating his birthday by inaugurating the power unit.
“In fact, all great people are born in the month of September. Shinde is one; and Akkineni Nageshwara Rao is another great person to celebrate his birthday this month,” he said, adding: “Of course, my birthday also falls in this month only.”
And when Shinde finally spoke, he had no choice but to great Subbarami Reddy, amidst loud applause from the audience!
