A political controversy has erupted in Telangana after Chief Minister Revanth Reddy made sharp remarks targeting BRS leaders during a public rally. Reddy said that if BRS leaders' blood were spilled on farms, farmers would grow better crops, adding that their "ego and fat" would be enough for agriculture. The comments drew strong criticism from the BRS, which accused the Chief Minister of using inflammatory language. In protest, BRS leaders organised a symbolic blood donation drive and demanded an apology.
