Telangana CM Revanth Reddy was criticised after he said, during a protest in Delhi, "Whoever...comes against Rahul Gandhi's command or rule, Telangana is going to write his death order." BJP's Amit Malviya called it a "shocking degeneration" of language. Telangana CMO clarified, saying the CM used a "figurative political expression" and it wasn't a "threat or a literal statement".
