Known for his witty tweets and sarcastic attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Central government, Telangana Rashtra Samithi working president K T Rama Rao on Monday took pot shots at Union minister G Kishan Reddy for claiming that it was Prime Minister Narendra Modi who discovered vaccine for Covid-19.
KTR was tweeting a video clipping of Kishan Reddy saying at a public meeting at Munugode assembly constituency which is going for by-election on November 3. In the video clip, Reddy was found saying that Modi had courageously discovered vaccine for Coronavirus in India.
Reacting in his inimitable style, KTR suggested that Modi should be given the coveted Nobel prize for his discovery.
“Let us demand Nobel prize in medicine or science to Modiji. Apparently, Modi discovered the Covid vaccine courageously. His cabinet colleagues are really bright, I must accept, especially Kishan Reddy.'”
Continuing the sarcastic jibe at the Prime Minister, KTR also 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 an old video of Modi from 2013, when he held the then Central government responsible for the rupee’s downslide, Rama Rao tweeted: ”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.”
