He called the TPCC chief 'perverted, frustrated, and mentally sick'.
He said Revanth Reddy stooped to a deplorable depths, using foul and insulting language and criminal intimidation that flagrantly violates any political decorum.
"Revanth Reddy, has not only exceeded all limits with his reprehensible verbal attack on fellow politicians and now even on policemen, audaciously issuing threats to law enforcement policemen, vowing to publicly humiliate that he will strip and assault them," he said.
Sravan urged the Director General of Police to take immediate cognisance and initiate suo moto criminal proceedings against Revanth Reddy and ensure that he faces justice for his irresponsible and criminal actions of offending law.
"Revanth Reddy is demonstrating anti social and criminal attitude and am sure it doesn't reflect the guiding principles of the 125-year-old Indian National Congress," he said and wondered why he is still allowed to go scot free.
