KARIMNAGAR/ WARANGAL: While the entire State was busy with the massive Covid-19 vaccination rollout to inoculate the brave healthcare workers on Saturday, Karimnagar’s Thimmapur witnessed a scuffle between TRS and BJP cadre over flexis. 

The flexis put up at the four vaccination centres in Thimmapur village had Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s image on them. Miffed over this, BJP leaders questioned why wasn’t Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s image used on the banners. 

Soon, Thimmapur mandal BJP in-charge Sugurthi Jagadeeshwara Chary, constituency in-charge Gaddam Nagaraju along with party activists staged a protest at the Thimmapur PHC. Meanwhile, they tore the flexis with KCR’s image, erected banners with PM Modi’s image on them and took a breather only after performing paalabishekam on the portrait.

In the meantime, tension prevailed at the vaccination centres in Warangal (Urban) district as well after the saffron party activists staged a protest over the same reason.
