Bhupathi Reddy, a legislator from the ruling Congress party representing the Nizamabad Rural constituency, has sparked a row with remarks in which he allegedly wished “death” for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The MLA reportedly commented on the Prime Minister’s lifespan during a program in his constituency about a week ago.
In a video clip shared by BJP leaders on social media on 2 October 2025, Bhupathi Reddy is heard saying in Telugu, “They always say Rama as if Rama were born only because of them. As if they go, Rama too would go. If Modi dies, will Rama cease to exist? How many more days will Modi live? He is already 75 years old.”

The BJP has strongly condemned the remarks, calling them “shocking” and “insensitive.” In a post, the party stated, “Bhagwan Shri Ram is the eternal embodiment of Bharat’s civilisational pride and cultural greatness. The vile and disgraceful remarks of Telangana Congress MLA Bhupati are not an individual outburst but a reflection of Congress’s deep-rooted contempt for Hindu sentiments. By repeatedly attacking Bhagwan Shri Ram and ridiculing the faith of crores of Indians, Congress exposes its anti-Hindu mindset and its politics of appeasement.”
The post added: “Let’s unite and fight against Congress’s divisive and destructive agenda in Telangana and across Bharat.”
Telangana BJP spokesperson Rachna Reddy commented that the MLA’s remarks reflect the frustration of the Congress party.
Bhupathi Reddy has previously courted controversy for using abusive language against actor Allu Arjun and warning that he would not tolerate criticism of the state government or Chief Minister Revanth Reddy.
