Telangana CM Revanth Reddy warned the BJP that he would rename the Hyderabad area housing its state office after Gummadi Vithal Rao, better known as Gaddar, if the party continues insulting the late balladeer. Reddy said, “If you insult Gaddaranna, you will be forced to write his name every time you mention your party office address. I will name the locality after Gaddaranna.”
