HYDERABAD: Launching a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, TRS working president KT Rama Rao shared a picture of the PM dining with construction workers in Varanasi on his Twitter account and asked as to why the Centre did not show any empathy towards thousands of migrant workers who had to walk all the way to their native areas during the lockdown.
Apart from the picture of the PM dining with construction workers who were a part of the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor Project, on December 13, the tweet also include images of migrant workers heading home during the lockdown. “Wonder where this love and empathy was when millions of migrant workers were walking hundreds of kilometres,” he tweeted.
“Whenever elections are close by, they dine with labourers. Otherwise, the labourers are just left to fend for themselves and to see live hell,” he further wrote in Telugu. KTR also said that the Centre had coerced the States to bear the fares for Shramik trains.
