Hyderabad (Telangana) [India] November 18 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party MP K Laxman slammed Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, accusing the Congress party of 'misleading' people.
He further said that the people of Maharashtra know "how to teach a lesson" to Congress.

Maharashtra people are clever enough they know how to teach a lesson to these Congress people and Revanth Reddy you will come to know what has happened in Haryana that is going to be repeated in Maharashtra, and Jharkhand also," K Laxman told ANI.
Earlier in the day, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, lashed out at the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi accusing the BJP of acknowledging its impending defeat by pulling PM Modi out of the state.
"Today is the last day for campaigning in Maharashtra. PM Modi has left the country. This means that BJP and PM Modi have accepted their defeat and they have left the battlefield," Reddy told reporters in Pune.
He further slammed the BJP for attempting to divide the nation to secure electoral victories, adding, "I saw some advertisements by the BJP in newspapers today, they are trying to divide the country to win elections...Staying the Prime Minister for three terms and 11 years, PM Modi has nothing to say about the works he has done."
