At a time when both Telangana and Telangana issue are burning. Meek Telangana activists are resorting to self immolations demanding carving of a separate state. People are taking to roads daring the scorching sun to agitate for Telangana. Irony is that, at this time, KCR and his family are engaged in fun and frolic, too far away from the heat.

According to sources, TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao, his wife Shobha Devi, two of his sisters and KTR's brother-in-law are on a pleasure trip to Papikondalu Hills agency area. First they visited Bhadrachalam temple and had darshan of Lord Sri Rama and later proceeded to Papikondalu. There a special A/C Launch has been arranged to take them for sight-seeing on Godawari river. Many an entertainment program are also been planned on the boat. Sources told, they spent last night in special tents erected amidst Papikondalu hills.

There is nothing unusual in people going to Papikondalu on pleasure trips, but what is not palatable is, at this juncture, when Telangana MPs in Delhi are stalling Parliament sessions with their demand for separate state and entire AP state is embroiled in political turbulence, KCR chose to go on a pleasure trip along with his family! Of course, it is not a new thing he has done this time. Earlier also, when over three lakh employees of the state were pondering whether to put a stop to their 42 days old Sakala Janula Samme or not, KCR went into hibernation, growing vegitables at his farmhouse. Does it not remind you of one such character - who was playing fiddle, while the Rome burnt?
