TRS and BJP spar over KTR's sarcastic comments on praying before gas cylinder
The Hindu
Social media platforms saw a near war between the TRS and BJP followers on Sunday after the TRS working president, K.T. Rama Rao made a sarcastic comment to embarass the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the escalating gas cylinder prices, and the counter from the BJP criticisng the TRS on the suicides of unemployed and the the party's silence on communal clases in Bhainsa town of Nirmal district.
It all started with KTR's deliberate provocative statement that he had prayed to the gas cylinder at his home, as wished by a great man, before coming out to vote in the Graduate MLC elections for which the polling was held today. Mr. KTR was apparently referring to the widely publicised tweet of the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi in 2014 general elections where he asked people to pray to gas cylinder at home before going out for voting. It was a deliberate political ploy to provoke anger among the common man on the polling day over the UPA's inability to control prices then.More Related News
