Andhra meals not allowed in Telangana

The Telangana Rashtra Samithi seems to be running out of ideas to be in the limelight.

Battered in the recent byelections and beleaguered with Devender Goud emerging as a potential threat to their existence, the TRS leaders are taking up petty issues to gain cheap publicity. Of late, they are going around towns and attacking small-time restaurants, which put up boards "Andhra Meals Ready." They are picking up arguments with the restaurant managements for mentioning "Andhra Meals" and asking whether they thought there was no taste in Telangana meals.

"Put up boards saying Meals Ready. Don't discriminate between Andhra meals and Telangana meals, as long as you are running your business in Telangana," they said, while attacking a restaurant in the city.

Poor TRS, all the issues concerning Telangana have now been hijacked by Goud, leaving nothing for KCR. So, it has to look for more serious issues to earn sympathy of the people once again.
