Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has sparked a national controversy with his lighthearted remarks on Hindu deities. Speaking at a Congress executive meeting, Reddy joked that Hindus have a 'god for every occasion', citing various deities associated with different aspects of life. His comments have been widely condemned by the opposition BJP, Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar, and even his own party, BRS. The Telangana CM framed his remarks as an observation delivered 'in a lighter vein', but the backlash has been swift. The opposition has accused Reddy of hurting Hindu sentiments, with BJP MP Sambit Patra calling it a demonstration of the 'poison' Congress has for Hindus. BRS leaders have also demanded that Reddy retract his statement and apologize for his remarks. The controversy has the potential to escalate into protests, with the Telangana BJP unit calling for an agitation and demanding an unconditional apology from the CM. Reddy's remarks have reignited debates about the Congress party's stance on Hinduism, with some accusing the party of holding deep-rooted hatred towards Hindus. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how Reddy will respond to the criticism and whether his apology will be enough to quell the controversy.
