KTR ridicules Modi’s lunch with labourers
The Hindu
‘Lunches happen only when the polls are around’
With the relations between the TRS and the BJP turning sour, the TRS leaders are leaving no opportunity to target the BJP. TRS working president and Minister K.T. Rama Rao went a step ahead targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself on his lunch with the construction workers involved in the Kashi Vishwanath temple corridor refurbishment.
Sharing several pictures of migrant labourers’ walkathon to their native places during the COVID19 lockdown, and juxtaposing them with the PM’s lunch picture with the construction workers of Kashi Vishwnath temple, Mr. Rao alleged lunches happen only when the elections are around.
He tweeted: Wonder where this love & empathy was when millions of migrant workers were walking hundreds of kilometres. In fact, Govt of India coerced the States for train fares for shramik rails.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
