Hyderabad, Sep. 3: Telangana Minister K T Rama Rao has expressed shock over Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman reprimanding a District Collector for being unable to provide her 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, said, 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 as to 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'.

Shocked at the petty behavior of Union Minister @nsitharaman Ji on Kamareddy District Collector. She lecturing the District Collector on Union Government funds Vs State Government funds in front of a ration (PDS) shop is unprecedented in Indian history!

- Under PMGKAY, entire cost on 5kg foodgrains given free is borne by Modi Govt

- Under NFSA, more than 80% of cost of foodgrains is borne by the Modi Govt
Is there any objection to poster/banner of PM Modi being displayed at ration shops?

Tirupati, Mar (PTI): TTD chairman B R Naidu on Saturday urged for Civil Aviation Minister K Ram Mohan Naidu's intervention to designate Tirumala as a no-fly zone.
Tirumala should be declared a no-fly zone, keeping in mind the principles of Agama Shastra (sacred texts), sanctity of the temple and safety and sentiments of the devotees, he said.
"Low flying planes, helicopters and other aerial activities on the Tirumala hill are disturbing the sacred atmosphere around the Srivari (Lord Venkateswara) temple," said Naidu.
To protect the sanctity and cultural and spiritual heritage of Tirumala, the TTD Chairman sought the Union Minister to respond in this matter for appropriate action.
Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) is the custodian of the famous Lord Venkateswara Temple.
