Minister KTR admits Governments face a roadblock at somewhere when they try to enforce a rule with a strong will. He citing the cracking of gambling dens and online rummy as an example.
KTR: 'We banned Playing Cards in Telangana. Then, We ended sale of Gutka and Gudumba as well. When we are going ahead aggressively in shutting down such stuff, Demand for Online Rummy grew multifold. The situation was brought to the notice of CM. Entrepreneurs who are behind the Online Gaming Industry questioned us how could there be a ban in Democracy. We were caught in a dilemma'.
Mahesh Babu intervened to say Government can't stop such things from happening. He informed there will be betting on No Ball and Wide as well in the cricket match. Quickly, KTR asked Mahesh to reveal who is doing such things to shut them too.
Finally, KTR made it clear TRS Government has been able to end Online Rummy inspite of the resistance. If you click the App in Telangana, Users will receive a message that it's been banned.
When Mahesh asked what about cricket betting, KTR said Government can only enforce rules but can't make people follow them forcibly by entering into every household and tying their hands & legs.
