Naidu congratulates Vinuthna

HYDERABAD, APRIL 11. The Chief Minister, Mr. N. Chandrababu Naidu, congratulated Nalluri Vinuthna on winning the Asian under-18 chess championship in Teheran recently and hoped that the young champion would bring many more laurels at the highest level in the future.

Mr. Naidu conveyed his feelings when the chess champion called on him at his residence on Sunday morning along with AP Chess Association secretary V.R. Bobba and her father N. Gopal Rao.

The Chief Minister also pointed out that since the election code was in vogue, he would not be able to announce any incentives for her `wonderful achievement' but promised to help her in a big way after the elections. Vinuthna later told newspersons that she was thrilled to meet Mr. Naidu.
