Telangana CM Revanth Reddy sparked a political controversy by saying that the anti-encroachment body, Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA), was inspired by Adolf Hitler. "Hydra was Hitler's favourite word. His core team was called Hydra, which could assassinate anyone. I've taken inspiration from Hitler," he said. "This is Congress' tanashahi mindset," the BJP reacted.
