Bengaluru Gets Apple, Hyderabad Baigan!

Bengaluru Gets Apple, Hyderabad Baigan!

The US-based Information Technology giant Apple Inc preferred Bengaluru to set up its assembling unit, even as the hype created by Telangana IT minister K T Rama Rao through his social media network that the project would come to Hyderabad because of its sustained efforts.

“With Apple, Hyderabad now is proud to be home to 4 of the top 5 most valued tech companies' largest office outside USA: Google, MS & Amazon” – tweeted KTR on May 19, 2016. He posed selfies with Apple CEO Tim Cook, who came to Hyderabad to look for the facilities to set up his unit.

He and his father Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao gave a massive hype to the Apple CEO’s visit. And Apple used to figure in all the claims made by the Telangana government in the subsequent days.

However, on Friday, Cook announced that the project would be set up in Bengaluru, exposing hollowness in KTR’s claims.

Immediately, there were comments in the social media saying that what all KTR got was just Baigan (a word which is commonly used in Hyderabad to describe a project failure), while the real Apple went to Bengaluru!
