Former chief minister and Telugu Desam chief Nara Chandra Babu Naidu has created a record while doing his ‘vastunna mee kosam’ pada yatra. In a statement released by the leaders of Telugu Desam Party in Hyderabad, he just erased the previous record created by another former chief minister Dr.Y.S.Raja Sekhara Reddy.
Reddy had done the pada yatra while he was the opposition leader before the 2004 elections to Parliament and Assembly. Raja Sekhara Reddy could complete his pada yatra for a distance of 1468 kms at the age of 53 years. Now, Naidu has erased the previous record by walking a distance of 1500 kms at the age of 63 years.
As Naidu is still continuing the yatra, the milestones will be much higher. As per his plan, the pada yatra will continue till 26th of this month and if the wish of the leaders is considered, the yatra will be extended further.
We all wish that Naidu will be in the record books forever in the history as the person who did a pada yatra for the longest distance.
