BENGALURU: The central government appears to have issued a circular to all state governments to use prime minister Narendra Modi ’s photograph on schemes sponsored by it.Revealing about this circular, energy minister D K Shivakumar said this was one of the “reforms” brought about by the Modi government on completing three years in office.“The circular was issued to our secretaries of the department, and also told orally. The schemes are to be branded with the photograph of Modi. We are getting the circular to see what exactly has been directed,” said the minister.Shivakumar said if the central government wants to brand its sponsored scheme then even the state government will have its own leaders photographs on these schemes.“If that is what the centre wants to do, then we will also start using our own photographs for the state government schemes,” said Shivakumar.When asked as to how the photographs will be displayed on these central government sponsored schemes, the minister said sarcastically: “It is on the same lines as it was, when the photographs of Modi were displayed on petrol bunks.”The photographs of Modi were to be placed in all petrol bunks, with oil companies also having begun issuing Modi printed certificates to consumers who had surrendered their LPG gas subsidy in January this year.
