In the few months I was Anna DMK Convener Pondicherry State, in Raj Niwas when my closest friend CHEDDILAL I.A.S was Lt.GOVERNOR OF PONDICHERRY, I met Mohan Kumaramangalam who was elected from Pondicherry to Lok Sabha was Union Minister of Steel and Mines.
I gave him one memorandum addressed to him as Minister of Steel and Mines. Another memorandum was addressed to Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. He accepted the memorandum addressed to him and returned the memorandum addressed to Prime Minister Indira Gandhi saying to me " I AM NOT HER POSTMAN. GIVE IT TO THE GOVERNOR "
All pressmen were present including S.Nadarajan of The Hindu. Immediately I told Mohan Kumaramangalam " YOU ARE OUR POSTMAN BECAUSE PONDICHERRY HAD ELECTED YOU ". Shocked Mohan Kumaramangalam grudgingly accepted it.
S.Nadarajan, son of V.S.Mani Iyer is from the same Ambalathiladum Iyer Madam Street where I was born. His father and my father were journalists even in French India. He very much appreciated my exchange with Mohan Kumaramangalam.
