In a heated political exchange, Telangana BJP leader N Ramachander Rao vehemently challenged Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel's assertions regarding terrorism. Rao castigated the former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister's comments, describing them as 'foolish' and highlighting the broader national suffering caused by terrorist activities.

Rao emphasized that the sacrifice made by armed forces in combating terror threats transcends political affiliations, accusing Baghel of attempting to dilute the country's unified stance against terrorism.
