The Telangana chief minister was apparently riled by the BRS chief's claim that 20 Congress MLAs were in touch with him.
Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy said on Friday, 19 April, that if BRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao touched even one Congress legislator, he would be reduced to ashes. Revanth was livid over KCR “bragging” about his ability to engineer defections from Congress. He said: “If you make any attempt to reach out to our MLAs, you would be burnt alive.”
