Mandya: Many of the southern superstars have their fans opening temples in their honour, but here in Mandya, a fan of actor-turned-politician Ramya has opened a canteen in her name. ‘Ramya Canteen’ is latest addition to the ongoing spree of opening canteens!
However, elated by the move of the fan, none other than Ramya herself took to twitter to express her appreciation. “He’s got the smarts! Will come by some day and have a meal!” tweeted Ramya sharing a link on Twitter.
Raghu, a die-hard fan of Ramya has been running a roadside canteen in Mandya over the last 15 years. However, on December 3, he renamed the same canteen as ‘Ramya Canteen’ and opened the doors of the canteen for all to relish sumptuous food at subsidized price.
Raghu had said that he was opening the canteen in Ramya’s name because he was impressed by the work that Ramya had done in Mandya when she was the MP. The canteen functioning at Triveni road of Ashoknagar serves a full meal, snacks, breakfast etc for Rs 10.
The canteen is bagging good response, especially because it is located close to MIMS Hospital. The family members of the patients who come from various places have been visiting the canteen to have food at subsidized price.
