Ramchander Rao criticized Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for praising the Owaisi brothers, questioning the definition of patriotism by asking, “To insult Vande Mataram is patriotism?” Rao argued that the Chief Minister lacks the authority to give certificates of patriotism and alleged that he remains more loyal to Rahul Gandhi than the country. Addressing political developments surrounding dropped minister Konda Surekha, Rao criticized the Congress leadership’s stance on women and backward classes. He clarified that any decision regarding potential party entries lies solely with the BJP national high command, stating there has been no contact with her.
