SABARIMALA: Minister K Radhakrishnan on Friday came to the aid of a Sabarimala pilgrim who felt exhausted during the Sabarimala trek. Realizing that the pilgrim was suffering muscle pain in the knee, the minister touched his knee and rubbed it. When the minister's treatment worked, the pain also decreased.

The devotee from Andhra did not initially know that it was the minister who was treating him. He thought that some physician had come to help him due to the blessings of Lord Ayyappa. It was KU Jenish Kumar MLA who told the devotee that it was the minister who came to his aid. Surprised by the revelation, the devotee looked at the minister with folded hands. The minister smiled at him in return and walked away. The minister was busy descending the mountain when the devotee resumed climbing the mountain.

The minister was in Sabarimala to inspect the pilgrimage facilities at Sabarimala. The picture of the minister rubbing the feet of the pilgrim is now viral on social media. '
