Pushpa 2 Quote on Placard Sparks Political Row in Andhra
A political argument is brewing over a movie quote.
A supporter of Jagan held up a sign with a violent line from the movie 'Pushpa 2'.
The government is upset because the quote means 'cut them down, one by one'.
Jagan says it is just a movie line, while the government claims Jagan is encouraging violence.
The police have arrested the person with the sign, which caused the former and current chief ministers to argue against each other.
A YSRCP worker displayed a placard with a violent movie quote.
The quote, from Pushpa 2, said 'cut them down, one by one'.
Police arrested the worker and registered a case.
Home Minister Anitha criticized the message, linking it to Jagan's encouragement.
Jagan defended the placard and accused the government of overreacting.
