Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy's handling of the "chalo assembly" call given by pro-Telangana groups on Friday earned him a pat on the back from Union ministers Sushil Kumar Shinde and Ghulam Nabi Azad. A bandh, called by Telangana Rashtra Samiti or TRS, to protest against the arrest of hundreds of its party workers during the "chalo assembly" march yesterday, also evoked a mixed response.
