Union Minister Demands Apology Over DNA Comment Controversy

Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has called on Congress leaders, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, to apologize to the people of Bihar. This follows the invitation extended to Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for their 'Voter Adhikar Yatra', despite Reddy's past derogatory comments about the Bihari DNA.

Pradhan made his remarks during a Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) event, on a day marked by Reddy's presence with the Gandhis in Supaul district. The criticism extended to RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, whom Pradhan believes should also apologize.

Pradhan accused the INDIA bloc of spreading unfounded rumors about electoral misconduct and defended actions regarding electoral roll corrections. Emphasizing development, he urged the youth to become job creators and foster local cultural understanding, while lauding sustainable growth initiatives.
