Modi's bonhomie with Pawan Kalyan and Chiranjeevi at Naidu's oath-taking ceremony
Vijayawada/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday flew down to Vijayawada to attend the oath-taking ceremony of his key ally and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N Chandrababu Naidu, who returned to the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister's post again.
Along with Naidu, Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan, an actor-politician whom Modi called "a storm" a few days ago, also took oath as a minister.
After the ceremony, Modi was seen holding hands of Pawan and his elder brother, superstar Chiranjeevi.
The Prime Minister even patted on the backs of the two while Chiranjeevi expressed his love for Pawan.

Addressing the NDA MP-elects in parliamentary party meeting, Modi said, "Pawan is not Pawan. He is a storm."
Praising Modi, Pawan said, "I am fortunate and grateful for giving this opportunity to be here. Starting 2014, in the same place. As honourable Chandrababu Naidu-ji said, 'We want to see Modiji to rule this country for 15 years' and it’s happening.
"Chandrababu-ji, your prophecy came true. Modi ji, you truly inspire the nation. As long as you are the Prime Minister of this country, our country will never bow down to anyone."
Pawan Kalyan's Jana Sena has won both the Lok Sabha and all 21 assembly seats it had contested in Andhra Pradesh, which fell in NDA's kitty.
