‘Don’t you have other work?’: District Minister Sreenivasa Prasad got furious over a senior citizen’s request to close the potholes on road in the city. Reacting to the request, Prasad questioned the senior citizen saying he had asked a wrong question at a wrong place.

“We have given Rs. 10 crore for closure of potholes in city. What more do you expect us to do. Don’t you have any other work to do? Wherever we go the same question is asked,” the Minister said.
