Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge should apologise, says G Kishan Reddy

HYDERABAD: Union coal and mines minister G Kishan Reddy on Saturday objected to the language Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge used to describe BJP leaders at a meeting he had addressed on Friday in the city.

"It is unbecoming of an 80-year-old leader to use unacceptable language," Kishan Reddy said. He mentioned that Kharge had described BJP leaders as "neither male nor female", and such language portrayed Kharge not as a national leader but a "gully leader". "For this, Kharge should apologise to the people of Telangana," he added.
