He also said that if BRS leaders were beheaded, ‘their blood, ego and fat would spread in the fields and farmers could use it for their crops.’ CM Reddy described former ministers KTR and Harish Rao as shameless leaders. Also, both the leaders should jump into the Kaleshwaram project so that the ‘Shani’ of the state is destroyed.
