Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has demanded an apology from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi over an alleged casteist slur hurled by BRS MLC Tata Madhu. Terming the incident a dark day for Telangana, Revanth Reddy stated in the Assembly that the remarks were directed at the Speaker and amounted to an insult to four crore people of the state. While the BRS MLC claimed his statement was directed at the police rather than the Speaker, the Chief Minister condemned the language as unacceptable and an unforgivable offence under any democratic system, calling for strict accountability and a formal apology from the opposition party.
