A political storm has erupted in Andhra Pradesh after Jagan Mohan Reddy appeared to endorse a violent remark by a YSRCP supporter, who likened political rivals to sacrificial animals using a dialogue from the film Pushpa. The phrase "Rappa Rappa" has since become the focal point of a heated clash between the YSRCP and TDP. Former CM Chandrababu Naidu strongly condemned the rhetoric, questioning its appropriateness in political discourse.
