Controversy Erupts as BJP's Pradhan Demands Apology from Gandhi Siblings

Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday demanded an apology from Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for including Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy in their 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' amid controversy.

At an event by Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, Pradhan criticized Reddy's derogatory comments about Bihar's DNA, stressing that the Gandhi siblings should apologize to Bihar's populace. Pradhan's demand aligns with his broader critique of the INDIA bloc and its vote theft rumors.

Citing previous remarks by Reddy labeling Bihar's DNA as inferior, Pradhan invoked the historical context of electoral misuse during RJD and Congress governance, challenging these parties to address allegations of booth capturing.
