Despite being the Vice President, Venkaiah Naidu is a regular visitor to Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Every weekend, he comes to Hyderabad and attends some function or the other. The functions could be as frivolous as attending the wedding of a VIPâs children. But, Venkaiah does not want to miss any of it.
But, the making arrangements for his stay, receiving and seeing him off at the airport are taking a toll on the Telangana state government. Initially, KCR himself used to receive him. But, with his visits getting more and more frequent, KCR is unable to take out time for the VIP protocol. So, he has asked his deputy Mahamood Ali to take care of the vice-presidential protocol. As a result, whenever Venkaiah comes calling, Mahmood Ali is the one who is receiving him. KCR rarely meets the vice president these days. This is what happens when a VIP makes frequent visits to him home state.
