Participating as the chief guest in the Christmas celebrations at the Pentecostal Church at Pendurthi, the mayor said that doing good, love, compassion, and forgiveness were taught by Jesus Christ and wished that this Christmas would bring joy and light to everyone. He exhorted Christians to help the poor.

Pentecostal Church Father Prasad preached the teachings and gospel of Jesus Christ and offered blessings.
