A major controversy has erupted within the Telangana Congress after Minister Ponnam Prabhakar allegedly used a ‘buffalo’ slur against his Dalit colleague, Minister Adluri Lakshman. The incident occurred at a government event in Jubilee Hills when Lakshman arrived late. Lakshman, who belongs to the Madiga community, has expressed deep hurt over the remark, stating, "As a Lakshman Kumar, he can abuse me personally, but abusing my caste is not acceptable." He has threatened to escalate the matter by complaining to Mallikarjun Kharge if an apology is not issued. Ponnam Prabhakar has defended himself, claiming his words were distorted and not directed at his colleague. The episode has highlighted internal friction within the party, drawing sharp reactions and turning into a significant political issue.
