After BJP leader H Raja’s statement that sparked a huge controversy, Congress party member and actor Khushbu took to Twitter to express her anger. She mentioned that she would be standing near Periyar statue and see if H Raja has the ‘guts’ to demolish it. After Vladimir statue was demolished in Tripura, H Raja took to Facebook and said that EVR Periyar's statue will also be demolished in Tamil Nadu, and later deleted the post.

Let's see if BJP has the guts to expel the dirty 'echchai"raja.. and I challenge this sort.. give a date to break the statue of #Periyar..I will be there.. let me see if you the guts to surpass me and many like me..even your shadow cannot touch the statue of #Periyar..
