Fresh from a US tour where he would have had the best of cuisine arranged by his hosts, Telangana Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister K T Rama Rao today tried a Rs 5 meal offered by the GHMC at various locations in the twin cities primarily for the poorest.
The minister purchased a plate of the food paying Rs 5 at a GHMC vehicle near its head office after his whirlwind visit to some of the localities in Srinagar Colony and other areas. Along with MP Nalla Malla Reddy, GHMC Mayor B Rammohan and other officials, he took the food meant for poor at the Shahpur Nagar area.
And he liked it.
After having a "lip-smacking" meal comprising rice curry, sambar, chutney, curd and papad, the minister could not stop appreciating the officials for the food. He gave a pat to all GHMC officials for serving such a low cost meal that was still very good in taste and high in quality.
Looks like Amma is having her influence on Hyderabad, too.
