State minister for information technology, industries, urban development and municipal administration, KTR, has been taking continuous digs at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him out on various issues, with the Minister now aiming at the petrol price hike issue. On Monday, KTR thanked Modi for the ‘Acche Din’ he gave the country.
Today, on Twitter, KTR wrote “Who says GDP is not going up? Thank you dear Modi Ji for making this Gads Diesel & Petrol hike as a daily habit for all Indians,” taking another jab at the PM. He also mentioned in another Tweet that all those who differ from his point of view, can unfollow him on Twitter, as he would be talking about the NDA government and PM Modi, and of their bigotry.
KTR went so far as to compare the consecutive rise in petrol prices by 80 paise over the last 14 days, to Chinese torture, saying that he had only read about Chinese torture in books thus far, but that he has now seen it in real life, thanks to PM Modi. It is now to be seen how the BJP will react to these comments.
