Coimbatore, Apr 4: BJP MP representing Bengaluru (south) constituency, Tejasvi Surya, who is here with regard to campaigning for Tamil Nadu assembly election, tried to get some political mileage out of an incident relating to payment of his bill after having breakfast at a restaurant. The restaurant however, reciprocated to the tweet in a unique way.
On Thursday, Surya had posted a photo on his Twitter account, with an explanation that he had approached the counter after having breakfast at a restaurant for payment of the bill, but the cashier was hesitant as he knew his identity.
"Today after breakfast at restaurant, I naturally went to pay. Cashier hesitated to accept money. With great hesitation he accepted after insistence. I told him that we are from BJP. A party that respects all and protects all. Not DMK to do roll-call even from small businesses..(sic)" Tejasvi tweeted.

"Dear Tejasvi Surya we are glad to have served you at our restaurant.

As a token of love and respect we sometimes refrain from taking money from people who work for our society (sic)," the restaurant said.
