Congress condemns Dharmapuri Arvind's remarks against Mahesh Kumar Goud
Some important politicians in a state called Telangana were very upset.
A leader from the BJP party, named Dharmapuri Arvind, said mean things about another leader, Mahesh Kumar Goud.
Mahesh Kumar Goud is the head of the Congress party in Telangana.
The Congress leaders said Arvind's words were rude and disrespectful.
They said an elected leader should speak kindly and not make fun of others.
They also said Mahesh Goud worked hard for many years to earn his important job.
The Congress leaders asked Arvind to take back his words and say sorry.
They even challenged him to a fair debate about his own work for the people.
They wanted to know what he had done for his area and for workers who went abroad for jobs.
People in Telangana were angry, so the leaders asked Arvind to apologize to the Chief Minister too.
Congress leaders strongly condemned alleged remarks by BJP Nizamabad MP Dharmapuri Arvind against TPCC president B Mahesh Kumar Goud.
Congress demanded that Arvind withdraw his comments and apologise.
MP Anil Kumar Yadav called the remarks 'cheap and sarcastic', noting Goud rose from the NSUI ranks to become TPCC president.
Congress leaders challenged Arvind to a debate on his assets and performance as Nizamabad MP, questioning the promised Turmeric Board and Gulf worker welfare.
TPCC spokesperson Gauri Satish said people of Telangana were angry and demanded Arvind apologise to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and the TPCC president.
