This minister enjoys the ride

Hyderabad: Telanaga Excise and Prohibition, Sports & Youth Affairs Minister Padma Rao is known for his fetish to drive any new vehicle that comes his way.

Padma Rao likes to take the first ride of any vehicle. It could be a motor cycle, scooter, a car, a lorry or even a three wheeler. Knowing his liking for the first ride, many people bring their new vechiles to him and ask him to take a ride. The minister not just obliges them, but also gives tough time to unsuspecting security men.

Recently, Padma Rao also tried his hand at driving a mini garbage van. He enjoyed the drive of those vans in and around the Ministers Quarters in Hyderabad.
