Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Mohabbat Ki Dukan’ slogan came under strain after Chinna Srisailam Yadav, father of Jubilee Hills Congress MLA V Naveen Yadav, threatened to ‘strip’ Huzurabad MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy and ‘skin him alive’.
He also warned that the BRS Bhavan, the party headquarters, would be demolished.
Srisailam Yadav, a notorious rowdy sheeter, was bound over during the Jubilee Hills by-election on November 11, a move that
did not stop his family from openly issuing threats to BRS leaders and workers ever since the election notification was released.
Following the by-election victory, supporters of Naveen Yadav took out a massive rally in the constituency and made threatening gestures aimed at BRS leaders.
In an interview, the MLA’s father again threatened the Huzurabad MLA with dire consequences, marking the second such interview in which he targeted BRS leaders.
