Congress Leader's Shoe Reply To BRS Leader's Saree Jab At Defector MLAs

A total of 10 MLAs have defected from the BRS, which lost power in the state in the Assembly election last year, to the Congress.

A remark by a Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), asking the party's defectors to wear saree and bangles, has drawn a sharp retort from a Congress leader, who warned that he will be beaten up with footwear if he insults women.

Telangana BJP MLA P Kaushik Reddy was addressing a press conference when he showed a saree and bangles and told the MLAs defecting to the ruling Congress to wear them. Naming the MLAs, he said, "You are not men, so wear these and go around."
