Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday attended the 93rd Sivagiri Pilgrimage at the Sivagiri Mutt in Varkala.
Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan thanked the organisers for adjusting the programme schedule to accommodate his official commitments.
He said the chairperson had modified the programme by reallocating time from the
presidential address to facilitate the inauguration.
"The chairperson adjusted the schedule and allotted time for the inauguration by modifying the presidential address, which was a great convenience.
Since I had to be here today, the Cabinet meeting that is usually held in the morning was rescheduled to 12 noon. Taking this into consideration as well, the chairperson made the necessary arrangements," Vijayan said.
