Hyderabad: <\/b><\/p>\n
A ruling Congress MLA in Telangana on Monday landed in a controversy after his Bakrid greetings on social media included a graphic image of a cow, drawing sharp response from the BJP.<\/p>\n
The Congress legislator, Kumbam Anil Kumar Reddy, later apologised for the “inadvertent error”, even as the post was removed from all related social media accounts.<\/p>\n
The poster was supposed to have the image of a goat and it has now been removed from social media platforms, he said.<\/p>\n
BJP MLA Raja Singh, taking exception to the image of a cow in Mr Reddy’s Bakrid greetings, alleged Hindus are insulted wherever Congress forms government.<\/p>\n
While there is nothing objectionable about greeting people on the occasion of Bakrid, what message does the MLA want to convey, Raja Singh, known for his strong Hindutva views, asked.<\/p>\n
Why is Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy silent on the matter, he asked.<\/p>\n
Anil Kumar Reddy, in a video release later, said he is a ‘Ram bhakt’ and that he has always followed traditions.<\/p>\n
He said the poster was removed soon after the error was found out.<\/p>\n
“If anyone is hurt, we apologise for it. Because, I am a Ram Bhakt,” he said.<\/p>\n
Mr Reddy said he has asked his social media team to thoroughly check before posting and that who posted the said poster (for him) is also being looked into.<\/p>\n
