BIG STORY

Odisha Sun Times Bureau
Bhubaneswar, Mar 16:

One always imagines the housekeeping staff doing the chores of politicians and bureaucrats. But look what we stumbled upon!

A video of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik buying mangoes. He gets down from his car and adorably says, "Aamba" (Odia for mango) and we can't help but go "Aww" at his accent and enthusiasm for the delicious king of fruits, (keeping the clichéd criticism, Odisha-CM-not-well-versed-in-his-mother-tongue aside for just one minute). He asks the vendor if he washes the mangoes before giving it to the customers, to which the latter replies with a yes. The CM even politely jokes with the vendor if he is speaking the truth.

Though we do not know if Naveen Patnaik actually bought some mangoes, this video is indeed a must-watch.
