Ridhan Charla wanted the Maharashtra Chief Minister to join in his birthday celebration
Kolhapur (Maharashtra:
Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Saturday joined the birthday celebration of a five-year-old boy in Anantpuram Society in Kolhapur.
The Chief Minister was in the area for other engagements following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally in Kolhapur on Saturday but made time to celebrate with the young child in the Bapat Camp area of the district.
Ridhan Charla was celebrating his fifth birthday on Saturday and had a unique request: he wanted the Chief Minister to join in his celebration.
His parents, moved by their son’s wish, approached Mr Shinde, who readily agreed to the request.
