‘Is this what happens when you’re on POT,’ asks Ramya on PM Modi’s TOP priority

February 5, 2018

New Delhi, Feb 5: Congress social media head and Karnataka leader Divya Spandana Ramya took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi wondering if he was on “pot”, a put-down which invited a sharp response from the BJP by calling it atrocious and “insult” to the masses.

Ramya’s swipe came following Modi’s comment in a rally in Karnataka during which he said farmers are his top priority and described ‘TOP’ as tomato, onion and potato.

On Sunday, she tweeted, “Is this what happens when you’re on POT?”

The BJP hit back at Ramya for her choice of words with party spokesperson G V L Narasimha Rao tweeting, “Most people of the country and our party members won’t even know what you are referring to (including PM himself) but your Leader will connect with it instantly. While you have insulted people of India with your atrocious comment, your leader will be proud of you!!”

BJP’s IT wing head Amit Malviya said more than 3,500 farmers have committed suicide in Karnataka, the highest for any state in India, but “speaking for them is being on ‘POT’… Congress keeps it classy, again”.

“Will Rahul Gandhi maintain silence on Divya Spandana’s comment while he sacked Mani Shankar Aiyar just because his jibe came close to Gujarat election and Karnataka is still some months away? Or sacrificing his close aide, responsible for his rise as a leader, takes some courage?” he asked in a tweet.

The Congress had suspended Aiyar from the party for his “neech” (lowly) jibe at Modi during the Gujarat Assembly polls.

Ramya is right, after the recent by-election where Rajastan gave Triple Talaq to BJP and wash out in WB, Modiji is in melting POT.  He might be thinking Tomato, Onion and Potato will supplement PAKODA preparation. Sirji, we need Fascist mukth Bharat, not Congress mukht Bharat.

Bengaluru,  Jul 22: Karnataka Congress president DK Shivakumar on Tuesday said that the state government should give details of the amount it spent on migrants and labourers during the coronavirus crisis if it is transparent.

"The image of Karnataka has come to a very rotten position. We all know that Karnataka has failed in sorting out the problem. Let them (the state government) tell what has been the amount spent on the labour, migrants, food kits on the health department. We want an account (of the expenditure) if they are so transparent," Shivakumar said.

He said that the state government should have approached the hospitals for treating COVID-19 patients and if any hospital refused, a message should have been given that the government would take it over.

He also accused the state government of corruption.
