Union Home Minister Amit Shah meets Telugu actor Junior NTR in Hyderabad

Hyderabad, Aug 21: Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who landed in Hyderabad on Sunday, met Telugu actor Junior NTR, grandson of NT Rama Rao, former Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh.

The actor met Shah at Novotel Hotel at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport at Shamshabad.

Shah called on Shah after meeting Ramoji Rao at Ramoji Film City (RFC).

After landing in Hyderabad, Amit Shah visited the Ujjaini Mahakali Temple and offered prayers.

Shah addressed a public meeting in Munugode, about 85 km from Hyderabad, in the evening. Munugode is set to go for a bypoll following the resignation of Congress legislator K Rajagopa Reddy.

However, it is not clear what the agenda of the meeting is.

In the 2009 Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections before the State bifurcation, Junior NTR had campaigned for the Telugu Desam Party. Later, he distanced himself from politics to focus on his career in filmdom.

After offering prayers at the temple, Shah visited the residence of N Satyanarayana, a BJP worker at Secunderabad. Shah was accompanied by Union Minister for Tourism G Kishan Reddy and Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar, said the State BJP in a press release.
