A picture taken aboard a flight featuring an air hostess and C. Joseph Vijay has gone viral on social media, with fans celebrating the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister's humble and approachable public image. The photograph was clicked during Vijay's return journey from New Delhi following his first official multi-day visit to the national capital since taking oath as Chief Minister earlier this month.

A ruling Congress MLA in Telangana on Monday landed in a controversy after his Bakrid greetings on social media included a graphic image of a cow, drawing sharp response from the BJP.

The poster was supposed to have the image of a goat and it has now been removed from social media platforms, he said.
BJP MLA Raja Singh, taking exception to the image of a cow in Mr Reddy's Bakrid greetings, alleged Hindus are insulted wherever Congress forms government.

Why is Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy silent on the matter, he asked.
Anil Kumar Reddy, in a video release later, said he is a 'Ram bhakt' and that he has always followed traditions.
He said the poster was removed soon after the error was found out.
"If anyone is hurt, we apologise for it. Because, I am a Ram Bhakt," he said.
Mr Reddy said he has asked his social media team to thoroughly check before posting and that who posted the said poster (for him) is also being looked into.
