JOIN USVice President Venkaiah Naidu had some awkward moments during his visit to Bengaluru on Friday as his footwear went missing, leaving him barefoot.
The incident occurred at BJP MP P C Mohan's residence where Naidu arrived at 8.30 am with complete security cover. Like other guests, who included BJP leaders Ananth Kumar, D V Sadananda Gowda, Jagadish Shettar, C T Ravi and V Somanna, he too left his footwear outside.
Little did he expect he would later end up looking for his slippers. Confusion prevailed while he and his security team searched for the footwear amid the milling guests.
Mohan told DH that Naidu's 'Bata Hush Puppies' got exchanged. "Somebody with a similar pair walked away with Naidu's slippers. Naidu, however, wore his spare pair for his next event," added Mohan.
This isn't the first time in the recent past that bad luck has dogged Naidu. He had recently shared his experience in Rajya Sabha about how he lost Rs 1,230 for weight loss treatment based on a fake advertisement.
