VIJAYAWADA, FEB. 24. In a surprise development, the Defence Minister, George Fernandes, air-dashed to Gannavaram airport here today and closeted with the Kanchi seer, Jayendra Saraswati, for 40 minutes. The details of the meeting were not known. The Kanchi swami came by special aircraft from Salem to Gannavaram airport and went to Guntur by road for Vigrahapratisha in a temple there tomorrow. The Defence Minister who was going from Delhi to Chennai to attend the marriage of the grandson of the former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, M. Karunanidhi, tomorrow broke his journey at Gannavaram half-an-hour before the arrival of swami's flight. After the swami arrived they both went into the VIP lounge and spent 40 minutes even as a few devotees like Maganti Subramanyam, T.V.A.S. Sarma, G.S. Raju and G. Ganga Raju waited outside curiously. The swami later came out, blessed the waiting devotees and went to Guntur by road. Asked for a message for Vijayawada, the swami smiled and said ``My arrival itself is a message''.
