Former minister holds slippers for Rahul Gandhi, says it was his duty


Chennai, Dec 9 (PTI) : Former Union minister V Narayanasamy on Wednesday said that he had held slippers for Rahul Gandhi out of courtesy to help him wade through a flooded street in Puducherry.

This after videos and images of Narayanasamy holding slippers to enable Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi wear them went viral.

On Tuesday, Rahul Gandhi toured flood-hit regions of Puducherry and Tamil Nadu. During his visit to the Union Territory, regional Congress leaders, including Narayanasamy had accompanied him.

Among Rahul's tour pictures and videos was one showing Narayanasamy -- slightly bent -- and holding a pair of slippers for his leader to wear and it went viral.

A section of the media claimed that the former Union minister of state in Prime Minister's Office during UPA-II was holding Rahul Gandhi's slippers.

    Daily people shouting on PM's forign trip.
    2 days before CM Mr. Siddarammayya, Ministers K.J. George, Roshan Baig, Mahadewappa visit dehli to greet Mrs. Sonia Gandhi on her Birthday.

    "YAARA APPANA DUDDU"?
    Now So called secular people dont bother about their tax money?????
    Almost all Congress CMs travelled to Dehli with some of Ministers.

    Congress demanding BJP not to celebrate Mr. Parikars birthday due to Chennai Flood. and ordering their party CM to visit dehli to wish sonia Gandhi.

    Reason given to court (on National Herald Case) to skip Sonia and Rahul attending court is Parliment session.
    But same day Mr. Rahul travelled to Chennai instead of attending Parliment session.

    Congress shouting "INTOLERENCE IN COUNTRY" but same congress president "AM NOT SCARED OF ANY ONE"

    Congress blaming BJP is missusing PMO, other hand congress leader giving statement am not scared of any one because am daughter in law of former prime minister Indira Gandhi" (miss using 30 year old PMO).

    Rahul openly told Mr. Modi to file complaint against him, and he is running from court in ongoing case.

    Congress call JDS as "APPA MAKKALA PARTY" but in same congress president is Amma, Vice president is Maga and they are thinking to bring Magalu also.

    Rahul tells he is with farmer and poor, but in conference with farmers they use fake farmers and wear Rs. 13000 t shirt

    what hell going on with Congress???

    Dear sudha, bangalore,

    We have a Lokayukta System to curb corruption. As you say Anjaneya wife allegedly has taken corruption was exposed by the MEDIA.

    Was in Gujarat any case of corruption exposed and even if it is exposed it was suppressed.

    CAN ANYBODY IMAGINE WHAT WAS THE LOOT / GHULUM WITHOUT LOKAYUKTA.

    Dear j.anata, Mangaluru / Bengaluru,

    Rome was not built in a day or two years or within 5 years.

    An act done out of own volition should not be exploited by the media to create a negative image. If Rahul had directed Mr Narayanswamy we do understand it deserved notice. In this case it is a voluntary act. We are not sure about the exact facts since the media is very selective in its news. Most of the time the media resorts to "Suppressio veri suggestio falsi" - Suppress the truth and suggest falsehood.

    Is there anything wrong in it."

    NOTHING WRONG . GOOD .

    FOLLOWING DEEDS BY YOUR LEADERS ALSO EXCELLENT :

    1. YOUR NIDDERAMAYYA FALLING ON THE FEET OF ITALIAN WITH KAPPA KAANIKE NOW AND THEN TO CONFIRM HIS CHAIR .

    YOUR USELESS AND HOPELESS PARTY IS DYNASTY RULED AND FULL OF CHAMACHAS , SLAVES.

    2. SWINDLING RS. 5000 CRORES IN NATIONAL HERALD SCAM ALSO EXCELLENT.

    3. MA , BETA AUR DAAMAAD GRABBING LAND ALL OVER INDIA ALSO SUPERB.

    4. APPEASEING MINORITIES FOR VOTE BANK AND DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY IS EXTRA ORDINARY.

    5. JOINING AND DOING NATI NATIONAL ACTIVITES WILL RECEIVE STANDING OVATIONS.

    I say this is a paid media hype. Mohan Bhagwat might have paid money to the media which he received from the Vyapam Scam.

    The Former minister brought slippers along with him for Rahul Gandhi while he was walking on a drought hit area.

    Is there anything wrong in it.

    "Rahulji was wearing shoes and he had to remove it as the street was flooded. As he got ready to walk barefoot, I offered mine as the flooded street had thorns and rough stones," he said.


    And Rahulji removed his shoes and



    Narayanasamy on Wednesday said that he had held slippers for Rahul Gandhi out of courtesy to help him wade through a flooded street in Puducherry.
