Expressing his anger over the incident, the BRS working president demanded to know how the government could allow it. He said rather than serving nutritious and tasty food, the State government had also cancelled the Chief Minister’s Breakfast scheme launched by the previous K Chandrashekhar Rao government.

The incident occurred on Friday, following which the main opposition BRS including former Minister T Harish Rao raised the issue.
