Pawan Kalyan at the latter’s chamber on Assembly premises on Thursday. Balakrishna exchanged cheerful banter with MLAs MS Raju, Adireddy Vasu and Bojjala Sudheer Reddy, drawing smiles from those around. In a humorous remark, Balakrishna referred to Madakasira MLA MS Raju as ‘Daaku Maharaj’, joking that he was taking away water meant for Hindupur to his Madakasira constituency. Joining the fun, Balakrishna said both Hindupur and Madakasira people should live well, but quickly added that Hindupur too needed its share of water. Earlier in the day, Balakrishna also met Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan in his chamber at the Assembly.
