Stating that Jagan didn’t learnt the lesson even after tasting bitter failure in 2024 elections, the BJP leader demanded Jagan to tender public apology for his insulting remarks on police.

Reacting to Jagan Mohan’s allegations of corruption in NDA government, Bhanu Prakash dared him to prove his charges.
