Sat Apr 05 15:42:10 UTC 2025: ## BJP-Congress Clash in Telangana Over Modi Poster at Rice Distribution Center
**Hyderabad, April 5, 2025** – Tensions flared in Telangana’s Warangal district on Saturday as clashes erupted between Congress and BJP workers over the display of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s photograph at a fair price shop distributing subsidized rice.
The incident began when BJP activists attempted to place a poster of PM Modi at the shop. Congress workers countered, removing the poster, leading to a confrontation. Police intervened to disperse the groups.
BJP activists argued that the central government’s contribution to the free rice scheme warranted the display of PM Modi’s image. Union Minister of State for Home, Bandi Sanjay, echoed this sentiment, stating that while there was no objection to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s posters, PM Modi’s should be displayed alongside. The dispute highlights the ongoing political rivalry between the two parties in the state.
