The issue drew flak on social media with netizens criticizing low-level debates on television shows
"We call them `LEADERS'. How fortunate enough!! @BJP4India and I don't know the other panel party ... Siggu leni nayakulu...chillara adukkoni thine yedavalu... Shame on us who we elect them..." tweeted Srikanth.
The JAC leader used filthy language and cuss words while exchanging barbs with Reddy. Though Reddy asked him to mind language, Srinivas was in no mood to relent.
