Shri. K.Varadachari’s son Kasturi recollects that congress meetings /tea party would take place at home and on one such occasion Shri.Nilam Sanjiva Reddy took him and placed him on his lap. On a jovial note Kasturi recollects that he was only about 8 years old and all that interested him in the congress meet were the snacks.
Sri C. Rajagopalachari was the last Governor- General of India. On 24th June 1948 Sri Varadachari wrote to C. Rajagopalachari congratulating him on his assuming office as Governor General where he wrote “How much should have Mahathmaji rejoiced at your assuming this most responsible office if he had been alive! My heart bleeds at the thought of this.”
