HYDERABAD: Excise minister V Srinivas Goud shot into the limelight for wrong reasons on Saturday, when he whipped out an Insas rifle and fired in the air to kick-start a freedom rally in Mahbubnagar.
While the Opposition BJP demanded Goud's sack, the TRS minister claimed he fired dummy bullets that don't endanger lives. But with the viral video sparking off a controversy, police and district administration went into firefighting mode and rallied around the minister.
