BJP’s counterattack

BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala, reacting to the Chief Minister’s statement, said that Revanth Reddy has crossed all limits of flattery by linking the Christmas celebration with Sonia Gandhi. After this he also jokingly said that Revanth Reddy may also say tomorrow that the sun rises in the east because of Sonia Gandhi.

Accusations on Congress

Poonawala accused the Congress that the party is always busy in glorifying only one family and it has done nothing by glorifying Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, B.R. The contribution of national leaders like Ambedkar and Birsa Munda has been underestimated. He said that this statement of Revanth Reddy insults the entire Christian community and he should immediately apologize for it.
