IT Minister KT Rama Rao is very active on the social media and responds promptly to grievances brought to his notice through his Twitter handle ‘@KTRTRS’. He has won accolades from people who benefited from his kind gestures as well as other netizens.

However, a Twitter user ended up asking an unusual favour. Though he need not respond, the Minister who is known for his wit and humour, replied with equal fun. What followed later was a series of fun tweets by Telugu Tweeple (Twitter users) that went viral.

A mechanical engineer and cricket lover Battu Saiteja made a casual request to Rama Rao seeking free IPL passes for a cricket match in Hyderabad. “Respected @KTRTRS sir can u give me 3 free @IPL Passes for the match in Hyderabad #srh #kTR #Telangana (sic),” he tweeted.Taking the request in good humour, the Minister helplessly replied with folded hands, “Naa Valla Kaadu Babu (That’s totally beyond me).” The tweet received more than 6,200 likes, around 770 retweets and nearly 600 comments within six hours.

The tweet garnered the attention of the Twitteratis including celebrities like actor Rakul Preet Singh who laughed their heart out heart. While some of them started mocking the user for making such a request, others sarcastically questioned him for not asking for a place in the cricket team or the MLA ticket itself on behalf of the ruling TRS. A few others patted the user for daring to ask the Minister for IPL tickets that to for free.
