KTR calls upon weavers to cast votes against BJP

Hyderabad, Oct.17 (NSS): TRS working president KT Rama Rao called upon the weavers community of the Munugodu Assembly constituency to cast their vote against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the ensuing by-election.

KT Rama Rao held a video conference with party leaders, who are campaigning for the party candidate Kusukuntla Prabhakar Reddy in Munugodu, from here on Monday and gave instructions to the party cadres on the ongoing campaign.

Speaking on the occasion, Handlooms Minister KT Rama Rao said that Narendra Modi was the first Prime Minister to levy GST on handlooms in the history of Independence India and he had abolished all welfare schemes related to the weaver community in the country.

“Because of lopsided policies being implemented by the Modi government, weavers are leading vulnerable life and the entire handlooms sector is in doldrums. The imposition of GST on handlooms is casting an adverse impact on the weavers and the entire sector, ” KTR pointed out.

He asked the party leaders to educate the weavers about the Centre’s anti policies against the weaver community and to take steps to cast their vote against the BJP in the ensuing by-election.

Earlier, Taking a jibe at the BJP for the promotion of what it calls Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘achievements’, including the Covid vaccine, KTR made a sarcastic demand for the Nobel prize to be given to the Prime Minister.

This was after Union Tourism Minister G Kishan Reddy claimed that Narendra Modi had “courageously” invented the Covid vaccine.

Reacting to the video, Rama Rao tweeted: “Let us demand Nobel prize in medicine or science to Modi ji. Apparently, Modi discovered the covid vaccine courageously. His cabinet colleagues are really bright, I must accept, especially Kishan Reddy.”

Continuing his sarcastic jibe at the Prime Minister, the TRS working president tweeted “Modi ji deserves Nobel Prize but in which category? Nobel for medicine – for discovering Covid vaccine. Nobel for economics – demonetisation and Swiss black money returns .Nobel prize for peace – stopping the Russia-Ukraine war for six hours, Nobel prize for physics – Radar theory”.

Also sharing a video of Modi, the Minister said: “To all those BJP folks, who feel Vishwa Guru deserves more than Nobel, I would like to nominate Modiji of 2013 for his amazing histrionics and theatrical skills in criticizing the then Union Government on rupee devaluation. If not Oscar, at least a Bhaskar award should be awarded.” (NSS)
