KTR visits bangle seller Ibrahim Khan's home in Borabanda, to help hearing-impaired kids

HYDERABAD: “Bangle sellers are we who bear

Our shining loads to the temple fair...

Who will buy these delicate, bright

Rainbow-tinted circles of light?

Lustrous tokens of radiant lives,

For happy daughters and happy wives.”

That’s the first stanza of The Nightingale of India’s poem - Bangle Sellers.

Former Minister and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao (KTR) visited the home of Ibrahim Khan, a bangle seller in Borabanda on Sunday.

The visit fulfilled Khan's earlier request, made on X on January 2, 2024. In his tweet, Khan expressed his appreciation for the BRS Government's achievements under KTR's leadership during the past ten years. He also extended a warm invitation to KTR to visit his home in recognition of his service to the state.

Keeping his promise, KTR visited Khan's home. He was given a warm welcome by Khan and his family. They shared a meal, and Khan's family reminded him about the assistance they sought for their children with hearing disabilities. KTR's office had already responded positively to this request, ensuring the children received all the necessary financial and medical support.

During the visit, KTR enquired about the well-being of Khan's family and expressed gratitude for their hospitality. KTR remarked that he was deeply touched by the invitation from a citizen, recognising his contributions. He emphasised that such experiences in public life would motivate him to continue working diligently for the people.

KTR was accompanied by local MLA Maganti Gopinath. Hundreds of people, including fans and party workers, gathered at Khan's home to welcome KTR
