Names changed to ‘Telangana’
News pulse, Politics | admin | July 26, 2011 at 4:25 am
Andhra Bank has become Telangana Bank, the Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (APTDC) has been rewritten as Telangana Tourism Development Corporation (TGTDC). Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) is now Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC). Andhra Bhavan hotel has become Telangana Bhavan hotel. From eateries to government offices, even number-plates on vehicles are proudly showing off the ‘AP’ cut-out and replacing it with a TG.
Call it wishful thinking or daring the powers-that-be. In many parts of Telangana, it is renaming with a vengeance that is being carried out by pro-Telangana groups, as though throwing a challenge to the government that if you are not going to give us a legal identity of our choice, we are going to embrace it, and if not force it, anyways.
