Hyderabad: Day after Telangana Minister K T Rama Rao expressed shock over Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman reprimanding a District Collector over missing PM Narendra Modi picture, the TRS took a jibe at the Finance Minister by pasting photos of the PM on LPG cylinders.
"You wanted pictures of Modi ji, Here you are @nsitharaman ji," TRS social media convenor Krishna K tweeting sharing along with a video of a load carrier delivering LPG cylinders pasted with PM Modi's laughing picture and "Modi Ji Rs 1105" written on them. The posters apparently are meant to take a jibe at the finance minister as well as highlight the rising price of cooking gas.
PM Modi's pictures on LPG cylinders in Telangana, TRS says 'here you are Nirmala Sitharaman' On Friday, Minister K T Rama Rao said he was shocked by the Union Finance Minister censuring the officer for being unable to provide her with an answer to what was the Centre and State's share of rice supplied through fair price shops, and said such conduct of people holding high offices will only 'demoralise hardworking AIS officers.'

Rama Rao, in a tweet on Friday night, wrote: "I am appalled by the unruly conduct of FM @nsitharaman today with District Magistrate/Collector of Kamareddy. These political histrionics on the street will only demoralise hardworking AIS officers." "My compliments to @Collector_KMR Jitesh V Patil, IAS on his dignified conduct," he tweeted.
During the inspection of a PDS ration shop in Birkoor, the Union Minister had also asked Jitesh Patil why the picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was missing there. She said since March-April 2020, the Centre has been providing rice priced at Rs 30-Rs 35 free of cost without the State government and the beneficiaries having to contribute anything. Sitharaman was in the state attending various programmes in Zaheerabad Parliamentary Constituency as part of BJP's 'Lok Sabha PravasYojana'.
